Ingredients

  • 8 whole roasted green chilis canned or freshly roasted, peeled and seeds removed
  • 4 oz of reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
  • Avocado oil cooking spray
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Set whole green chilis on a clean dishcloth or paper towel to allow the liquid to drain.
  • Thinly slice Monterey Jack cheese to equal the number of green chilis.
  • Stuff each chili with a slice of cheese and set into the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, flour, and chili powder until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the cheese-stuffed chilis.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Let cool slightly, and then slice into 4 servings.
  • Serve with your favorite salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and perhaps a dollop of Greek yogurt or homemade guac.
  • Enjoy!
