  2. Drain one (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies and halve them lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes.
  3. Cut 8 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese into strips, about 1 inch wide and long enough to fit inside the chilies.
  4. Carefully wrap a cheese strip inside each chili half.
  5. Lightly grease a 10x6x2 inch baking dish.
  6. Arrange the stuffed chilies in the prepared baking dish.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the stuffed chilies.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
