How to Make Mexican Brunch Eggs

  1. Finely slice 1/2 cup of green onions, reserving some green rings for garnish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (4 ounce) can of diced green chilies and 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies.
  3. Grate 2 cups of your favorite Mexican blend cheese.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet (or a 13x9 inch baking dish) over medium-low heat.
  5. Cut 8 corn or flour tortillas into bite-sized pieces. Add tortillas to the melted butter and soften over low heat, stirring frequently, until pliable but not crispy (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove softened tortillas from the skillet and set aside.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup of milk.
  8. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring gently until the eggs are set but still moist and custardy (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Assemble the casserole in the prepared skillet or baking dish, layering as follows:
  11. Layer 1/2 of the softened tortillas.
  12. Layer 1/2 of the soft-scrambled eggs.
  13. Layer 1/2 of the sliced green onions.
  14. Layer 1/2 of the chili mixture.
  15. Layer 1/2 cup of sour cream.
  16. Layer 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
  17. Repeat layers.
  18. Garnish with reserved green onion rings.
  19. Bake, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
