Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh green chilies, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack work well)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your eggs bake evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well-combined.
- In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped green chilies and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed chilies. Let it cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Make sure to gently lift the edges of the eggs with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set (but still a little runny in the center), top them with shredded cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the eggs are cooked through but still custardy.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Serve hot, and enjoy this delightful Green Chili Egg dish with crusty bread or tortillas on the side!
