Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Crumbled Bacon (omit for vegetarian options)
- 1/2 cup Diced Pickled Jalapeños (or fresh jalapeños)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 cup Evaporated Milk (or heavy cream)
- 2 large Eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, crumbled bacon, and diced jalapeños. Mix everything together well until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, all-purpose flour, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the cheese mixture and stir everything until just combined, ensuring an even consistency.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Transfer the cheese mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place your dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is bubbling. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow the dish to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm for the best experience!
