Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush olive oil on the bottom of a 10.5" x 7.5" baking dish. Line with chiles.
Cover chiles with about 2 ounces of crumbled cotija and 4 ounces of shredded cheddar. Repeat twice, ending with cheeses on top. (three layers total).
Beat the eggs, with the salt and pepper and pour over the chile and cheese mixture.
Cover with foli and bake at 375 degrees F. for 35-40minutes, or until cooked and no longer jiggly in center.
Serve hot or room temperature.
Casserole can be frozen. Cut into squares and wrap well.
To reheat, defrost the night before and heat each square about 45-60 seconds in microwave.
