Egg and Tortilla Chip Casserole topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 cups tortilla chips, slightly broken up
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground ancho pepper
- 8 large eggs
- 1 can (110 g) canned chopped mild chili peppers
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro + whole leaves for serving
- 1 cup grated Pepper Jack cheese (about 110 g)
- Sour cream, salsa verde, and/or pickled jalapeño rings, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 2-quart (2-liter) rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the prepared dish with half the tortilla chips.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, ancho powder, eggs, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth. Add the green chili, cilantro, and 1/2 cup of cheese and pour into a baking dish. Bake until set around the edges but still slightly runny in the center, 20-25 minutes.
- Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining chips. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese and continue baking until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set in the center, another 10 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro leaves, salsa verde, and/or pickled jalapeño rings. Serve with sour cream.
