Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Split chilies lengthwise - no need to bother washing or removing seeds. Place half of the chilies in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat with another layer of chilies and the remaining cheese.
- Blend milk, eggs, flour, salt, paprika, and pepper in a blender until smooth. Pour over chilies and cheese.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until set and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and slice to serve.
Notes
- This recipe came from my friend Jana's family recipe book called "Debra's Chili Cheese Puff" by Jane Finch with the notation "good" by it.
- Storage: Store after it has been baked and cooled in an airtight container, or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
- Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months - it is best to freeze it before baking it though, so the cheese can melt on the day of serving it.
