Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg whites
1 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 (4 ounce) cans whole green chilies, drained
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (2 cups)
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese (2 cups)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray an 8-inch square casserole dish or baking pan with nonstick spray, or lightly rub with oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites, evaporated milk, and flour, whisking to blend.
  • Place half the chiles in the casserole dish, and cover with half of the egg mixture.
  • Reserving 1/2 cup of each type of cheese for topping, sprinkle the 1/2 of the remainder of the cheese over chiles.
  • Layer again with the chiles, top with the remaining egg mixture, the other half of the cheese, and then cover that with the tomato sauce.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes; then sprinkle the reserved cheese (1/2 cup of each) on top of the rellenos.
  • Replace in the oven and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the edges are bubbly, and the cheese is nicely melted.
  • Allow to rest 5 minutes or so before slicing into servings.
