Egg and Green Chili Casserole

Kitchen Tested
  • Yield 8 servings

This is a "not eggy" dish that works well on a buffet as it easily cuts into serving portions.

To lower fat and cholesterol, 1 1/4 cups egg substitue can be used instead of the large eggs.

Ingredients

2 -- (4-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained
8 -- (6-inch) flour tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
1 -- (8-ounce) package reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
5 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-- Salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.  Coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Layer half the chiles in the dish.  Top with half the tortilla strips and then half the cheese.  Repeat another layer using the remaining chiles, tortillas and cheese.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, egg whites, milk, pepper, cumin and garlic powder and pour evenly over the casserole.
  4. Bake, uncovered, 40 minutes or until puffy and set in the center.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  Serve with salsa, if desired.
