If you’re like me, you enjoy an egg bake now and then. But eat them too often, and they get old fast. No matter how you vary the ingredients, they all taste kind of the same. But this egg bake is different and has been one of Hiram’s favorites since the day I found it in American Profile Magazine. I think it’s tasty, too, and because it’s so easy, it’s a double fave for me. Give it a try and see what you think!

Green Chile Egg Bake

10 eggs

4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2-4 ounce cans chopped green chiles, drained
