Chile Rellenos Casserole

Chile Rellenos Casserole

1        lb. cheddar cheese, grated

1        lb. jack cheese, grated

4        eggs, separated

5        T. flour

1½      C. milk

2        T. sugar

1         8-oz. can of chile salsa

2         7-oz. can of whole green chiles (I use Ortega chiles)

Place first can of the whole green chiles in strips in a 9”x13” pan.  Layer with jack cheese.  Put second can in strips on top of jack cheese.  Layer with cheddar cheese. 

Mix egg yolks, flour, milk and sugar in a bowl.  Set aside.  Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into egg-milk mixture.   Pour this mixture evenly over chile and cheeses.  Smooth top with a spatula.  Bake at 350˚ for 30 minutes.

Pour and spread salsa on top and bake an additional 15 minutes.  Remove and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
