Ingredients

2 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies

1 lb Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated

4 egg whites

4 egg yolks

2/3 cup undiluted evaporated milk

1 Tbsp flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

2 medium tomatoes, sliced (or enough to circle casserole dish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the grated cheeses and green chilies. Pour into a well-buttered shallow 2-quart casserole.

In a separate large bowl, beat the egg whites just until stiff peaks form when beater is slowly raised.

In a small bowl, combine the yolks, milk, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well.

Fold the stiff whites into the yolk mixture with a rubber scraper.

Pour egg mixture over cheese mixture. Take a knife or fork and gently separate spots in the cheese mixture, allowing the egg mixture to penetrate the casserole.

Bake at 350 degree F for 30 minutes.

Remove casserole from oven and arrange the sliced tomatoes around edge.

Bake 30 minutes longer, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

I added 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and substituted 2/3 cup of fat free half and half since I didn't have any evaporated milk and I also used half queso fresco and half 2% medium cheddar (shredded). Then I made individual 'cups' in a 12 cup muffin tin. AMAZING!!! Great as a side dish and fast breakfast! Can be frozen and microwaved as I made them...Michele
