The recipe for green chile and egg casserole comes from a dear family friend and wonderful cook. This egg casserole is basically two cheeses tossed with green chilies and topped with whipped eggs and tomatoes. The eggs come out gooey and cheesy (and happy, as my husband added the other night) with bits of bright flavor from the chilies. It’s a great breakfast to make over the holidays when guests are in town, especially since one recipe feeds at least 8 if not 10 and is very satisfying.
