Ingredients:

Serving

1 (27 oz) can whole green chilies
12 oz reduced-fat monterey jack cheese
4 oz longhorn cheese , can substitute medium cheddar
2 scallions, white and green parts sliced
1 cup low-fat milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
salt
pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
4 oz mexican tomato sauce , with chiles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F Prepare a 9x13 pan by spraying it with vegetable oil spray.
Drain chiles, remove any seeds, membrane, or skin you find, and slice lengthwise into 1 inch strips.
Slice cheese into very thin slices. They don't have to be even and it's okay if they crumble a bit.
Place a layer of chiles into the bottom of the pan. They don't have to cover completely. Cover with a layer of cheese (mix white and yellow) and a sprinkle of scallions. Repeat this, reserving a few cheese slices and scallions for the top of the casserole.
Stir together milk, eggs, and flour. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper and the garlic powder. Pour this over the layered mix.
Bake in the preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes. It's done when it doesn't wiggle when shaken, it won't brown very much.
Remove from the oven, top with the tomato-chile sauce and reserved cheese and scallions. Bake 3-5 more minutes, until cheese begins to melt.
Let this stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
