SOUTHWESTERN EGG BAKE

This is another of the recipes I found in the treasure trove that is my grandmother Ruth's recipe box. How my New England grandmother learned about Southwestern cuisine is a mystery to me. I certainly don't remember ever eating a dish spiced with chile at her house. But this recipe looked so simple and tasty I had to give it a try. Sure enough, it was delicious and the sort of dish you can throw together at the last minute for guests as long as you keep that can of chiles in the cupboard. It makes a great weeknight supper, too, if you don't mind having eggs for supper occasionally. I don't.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8-ounce) can mild green chiles, drained and stemmed
1 pound Monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated
12 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salsa, additional sour cream, and guacamole for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the chiles in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Arrange in 1 layer on the bottom of a buttered 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Cover with the cheese. Whisk the eggs with the sour cream in a large bowl until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the cheese, smooth the top, and bake in the middle of the oven until golden, about 45 minutes. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side, if desired.
  • Coarsely mash 1 peeled, pitted ripe avocado, preferably Hass. Add some fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro leaves, chopped cherry tomatoes, 1 small minced garlic clove, 1/2 serrano chile, or jalapeno, minced, and kosher salt, to taste.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by chopping veggies and cooking bacon the night before. Store separately in airtight containers in the fridge.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen veggies, thaw and drain them thoroughly before adding them to the egg mixture.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: The eggs should be cooked through but still slightly soft and fluffy. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Top the egg bake with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese. You can also add a side of fresh fruit or toast.

Conclusion:

This Southwestern egg bake is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch casserole that is perfect for a crowd. It's packed with flavorful ingredients like eggs, bacon, peppers, onions, and cheese. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Simply whisk together the eggs, milk, and seasonings, then layer in the remaining ingredients.
