Fluffy green chili eggs topped with crunchy tortilla chips makes for a surprising and delicious breakfast dish. Green Chili Egg Casserole will quickly become a family favorite.
I love to stay at bed & breakfasts when I travel. Quaint hotels and good food is the perfect combination to make my heart happy. And I love it even more when they share their recipes with me when we check out.
One of the best breakfasts I have enjoyed at a B&B was in my own backyard, The Lion and Rose Victorian B & B. When I stayed there with a group of girlfriends we were served this delicious green chili egg casserole. They were the lightest and fluffiest eggs with a delicious Mexican flavor. And they were topped with crunchy tortilla chips!
The recipe may seem a little strange but trust me on this one. You blend everything up in the blender and then cook the eggs up in a frying pan.
Place the cooked eggs into a baking dish and sprinkle with cheese and chilies and bake. I used my cast iron pan because it sits on my stove top and it is easy to grab but you could definitely use a 8 x 8 baking pan.
And after you take it out of the oven you sprinkle the green chili egg casserole with chips, salsa and a little avocado and serve. I promise, these are delicious and fluffy and you will love them!

CAST IRON SKILLET – I have an assortment of sizes but the 10 inch is my most used cast iron pan.
8 x 8 GLASS PAN – I prefer baking in glass over metal and these are the glass pans I love. I have them all different sizes

That is where my hubby and I stayed on our honeymoon! Such a cute place!
I love your blog- I am a college student at BYUI and have been following you for a few months, I love all the recipes and cute things you post!
I was just wondering- what type of camera do you use to take your pictures of the foods once you make them? I am looking for a camera that can do clear close ups like that and I really don’t know where to start.
Thanks!
So glad you enjoy the blog! I use a Nikon D40 and I also have a D90 and I go back and forth between the too. I have found that the most helpful thing though is good lighting! I never use a flash.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! B&Bs have some great ways to serve eggs. I’m a fan of anything with green chiles.
I’d love this recipe, I’m sure. Thanks Leigh Anne. Also, thanks for NOT including the Blood Pudding recipe here. 😉
That’s so funny. My husband served in Ireland, and he had to eat blood pudding at his first dinner appointment. Very memorable.
