How to Make Jalapeno Cheese Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange a single layer of approximately 1 cup thinly sliced pickled jalapeno peppers in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs.
  4. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled cream cheese; stir until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the jalapenos in the baking pan.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into 2-inch squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
