Green Chili Egg Casserole

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!

Some of my favorite kitchen tools I use to make Green Chili Egg Casserole:

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
