I received this recipe from a friend when I was looking for a Mother's Day brunch addition. While putting it together during my test run I was skeptical because of so few eggs and so much cheese. I thought there must be a typo. But OH-EM-GEE...it was DELICIOUS!! Knowing my family prefers a little kick, I substituted pepper jack for 1/2 of the Monterey Jack. Because it was a practice run I had it to nibble on all week and share some at work. It's rich, so the 9 x 13 will feed plenty when it's served as a side dish. I will be pairing it with chicken enchiladas in white sauce.

We add chicken or beef and use whole green chilies in layers between the cheese like a lasagna.
