Scale
- 30 ounces mild green chiles

- 1 1/4 cups whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by spraying it generously with cooking spray.

- Whisk the eggs, whole milk, coarse salt, and dry mustard in a mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Combine a portion of the egg mixture with the flour to create a paste, and then mix it back into the main egg mixture.

- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cool the casserole for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to use whole chiles or diced for easier distribution.
- Freshly shredded pepper jack and cheddar colby jack cheese melts better for that gooey texture.
- Almond milk can be used for a dairy-free alternative.
- Adjust salt according to your taste preferences.
- Omit dry mustard if it’s not available.
- Skip the flour for a gluten-free version.
