Step-by-Step Instructions for Chile Rellenos Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the rack is in the center position for even heat distribution.
  2. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  3. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the whole milk, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread a layer of roasted green chiles in the baking dish, followed by a layer of Monterey Jack cheese, and pour the egg mixture over the top.
  5. Bake for 35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes. The casserole is done when the top is golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh toppings like cilantro or lime.
