Mexican Egg Casserole Recipes

GREEN CHILE EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
• Mix the cheeses and then sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese (about 2/3) in the bottom of a casserole dish. Then dollop the green chiles evenly over the cheese.
• Place the flour in the bottom of a bowl and use a whisk to slowly mix in a little of the milk to make a paste, then continue to pour the milk in while whisking until it is all smoothly combined. Then add the eggs into the milk, season with salt and pepper, and use the whisk to combine well. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish over the cheese and chiles.
• Top the casserole with remaining cheese and then bake on the middle rack of the oven for 25-35 minutes or until eggs are set in the middle.
• Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes then serve hot. Enjoy!

MEXICAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, split in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and the stems.
• Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the chiles in a flat layer across the bottom of the dish.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until browned. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half with the hot sauce, salt and black pepper.
• In another bowl, combine the green onions, cilantro, jack, and cheddar, and mix well.
• Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture over the chiles in the dish, top with 1/3 of the tortilla quarters, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, ending with a cheese layer. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until bubbly and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce.

MEXICAN EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat eggs on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 3 minutes or until light and lemon-colored. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder; add to eggs and mix well. Add the cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and melted butter. Blend until just combined and smooth, around 30 seconds. Stir in the green chilies.
• Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until lightly brown on top and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
