Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Chiles: Slice whole canned green chiles wide open; rinse out any seeds, then drain.
3. Layer the Chiles and Cheese:
   • Arrange half of the chiles in the bottom of the dish.
   • Sprinkle with half of the grated jack and cheddar cheeses.
   • Add the remaining green chiles in another layer on top of the cheese.
   • Top with the remaining jack and cheddar cheeses.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.
5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg mixture over the casserole, distributing it evenly.
6. Bake: Bake the casserole (uncovered) at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Let it cool and firm up for a few minutes. Slice the casserole into 6 equal-sized pieces, serve with a spatula, and enjoy!
