    🍳 Equipment

    (This section contains affiliate links.)

    There are a couple of methods that you can use to prepare the eggs for this casserole. I found it easier to use a blender. If you don't have a blender, you can use a large glass bowl and electric mixer instead.

    As far as baking goes, the rustic nature of this dish sort of lends itself to the cast iron skillet, but you can use a small baking dish instead.

    🥚 Ingredients

    Green chile breakfast casserole ingredients
    Three simple ingredients are all that you need to make this tasty dish.
    • 32 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded.

    📋 Instructions

    Step 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
