Green Chile and Cheese Egg Bake

Here’s a recipe I found at recipegirl.com–if you haven’t explored this blog it’s worth a little time (although the mention of “chilly” weather in Southern California might have some of my cold weather friends crying foul!).

You could use this for breakfast….or you could use it for dinner! We loved this and even better, it’s wonderfully easy!

First you are going to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and then mix together 2 cans of diced green chiles, squeezed dry, and 12 ounces of grated sharp cheddar cheese. Spray a 9×13 dish with cooking spray and spread the cheese and chile mixture right on in there.

Next, whisk together 4 large eggs, 3 cups of milk, 1 cup of flour and 1/2 t. salt. Pour that over the cheese mixture and sprinkle 8 strips of cooked and crumbled bacon on top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until bubbling and the eggs are cooked through. Test with a toothpick which should come out clean. Here’s the recipe without all the pictures:

    What do you serve w/this?

    True confessions–I’m really bad at side dishes…not because I can’t cook them but because I don’t often take the time to! I think I served this with biscuits and a frozen vegetable. Often when we have “breakfast food” for dinner, we have fruit instead of vegetables, but really, isn’t your family just happy to have food?! They will love anything you serve with it!! (If only that were true in real life….)
