Childhood Favorite – Green Chili Cheese Egg Puff Casserole

I’ve talked a lot about the recipe book my mom gave me more than 20 years ago. It’s filled with all kinds of recipes from my childhood. I decided to share those recipes with you and I started doing that last year. This is another childhood recipe that reminds me of idyllic weekend mornings, sitting at the table with our family in our warm and cozy kitchen in Michigan.

Green Chili Cheese Egg Puff is a casserole filled with gooey cheese and tangy green chilis. It melts in your mouth! I made it for our little Galantine brunch last weekend and I had requests for this recipe because it is SO good! You can’t stop eating it at one piece! My kids love it too. The green chilis are tangy and add such a wonderful flavor combined with the melted cheese, but it’s mild enough that kids will love it too!

I also love that it’s SO easy to make and my kids agree that it’s the BEST egg casserole. You can make 3 or 4 at a time and keep them in the freezer to take to brunches and get-togethers. If you do freeze this casserole, get it out the night before and let it defrost in the fridge and then bake it the next day.

 

I divided the mixture to make two casseroles the morning I baked this – one for the Galantine’s brunch and another one for my kids to keep at our house. So the picture above is the amount for one large casserole – I just divided it into two smaller casserole dishes. If you are making this recipe as ONE casserole – use a large casserole dish like a 13×9 pan. I knew the kids would get VERY upset if I made their favorite egg casserole and didn’t make some for them too so I made a smaller casserole for them! LOL!!

It also is great for dinner too! You can add cooked bacon piece to the top too if your family likes bacon. My son is vegetarian so I didn’t add any meat to ours.
