How to Make Chile Cheese Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Sprinkle 4 ounces of canned diced green chiles and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (11 ounces) of refrigerated biscuit baking mix, ¾ cup of milk or cream, 2 large eggs, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  4. Beat the biscuit mixture with a whisk or fork until just combined. Don't overmix.
  5. Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the chile-cheese mixture in the pan.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the squares cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish with olive slices (optional).
  9. To freeze: cool completely, then freeze squares individually on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag for longer storage.
  10. To reheat frozen squares: arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
