Tortilla chips add a little fun to this south-of-the-border brunch sent by Vickie Lowrey. For spicier tastes, substitute pepper Jack for the Monterey Jack cheese, says the Fallon, Nevada reader.
Ingredients:
4 cups coarsely crushed nacho tortilla chips
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2-1/2 cups milk
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, undrained
3 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Directions:
1. Arrange tortilla chips in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese and set aside. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, onion, chilies, ketchup and hot pepper sauce; pour over cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
