Step-by-Step Instructions for Chile Rellenos Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients to create a smooth cooking experience.
  2. Lightly grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer the roasted green chiles evenly across the bottom.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and whole milk until pale yellow and frothy. Pour this mixture evenly over the chiles.
  4. Sprinkle generous layers of Monterey Jack cheese over the egg and chili mixture for an even distribution.
  5. Place the casserole in the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
