Helllllllo! Happy Monday! There are two things that are special about this week. And when I say special, I mean eventful for us Texas/American folk.

First, it’s Hatch Green Chile Season. This means Hatch Green Chile Festivals take place and all over New Mexico and even make it to the stores in Texas! PeopleĀ go bonkers over Hatch Green Chiles and roast them outside the store every day. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. People like their Hatch Green Chiles… A LOT. Just check out the chile fest siteĀ for proof!

And secondly, it’s the first week back to school for most districts in Texas! Yay school season! Haha, I know what you are thinking. “Why does that mean anything to you? You don’t have kids Lindsay.”

Yes, yes, I know we are kidless. But, hear me out. We may not have kids but I do make a lot of kid friendly recipes for my husband’s athletes and for my nieces and nephews. They are always looking for ways to makeĀ more family friendlyĀ gluten free Ā meals . Especially ones that areĀ quick and full of rich nutrients toĀ fuel them for their activities/sports!

I like to help make their busy life as a mom/parent easier. It’s niceĀ to be the “sherpa” wife for them too, ya know? Besides, it’s always good to prep for when we have kids. … um, when we do, not now. But hopefully some day.

That being said, today’s recipe is combining New Mexico/Texas’ love for this Hatch Green Chile season with an EASY gluten free recipes that can be made in Ā 40Ā minutes. AndĀ both kid/adult approved, duh. In fact, I used leftovers in this dish. Shhhhh, don’t tell Martha or Betty Crocker!

So let’s talk about this dish and what’s in it. Well, besides Hatch Green Chiles of course.

There are layers! First, I used leftover gluten free bread crust. You know when you cut off the crusts to sandwiches? Yes, that kind. Well, now you don’t need to toss them. KEEP THEM and use them in this dish.

Then I topped the crusts with slices of hatch green chile, cilantro, provolone, tomato, and an egg mixture. Here is what it looks like before cilantroĀ is added and theĀ egg batter is poured on top. And don’t worry , for those who dislikeĀ cilantro, you can use basil instead. Easy peasy!Ā

Then you just add your beaten egg batter and bakeĀ it up. The edges are nice and crispy due to the crusts. I may be bias, but I think this dish has all the right textures.

Description

Easy gluten free Hatch Green Chile and Tomato Casserole.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Hatch Green Chile and Tomato Casserole

  • 4– 5 large pieces of gluten free bread crusts or about 2 cups cubed (I used whole grain gluten free)
  • 2–3 whole medium hatch green chiles diced (roasted ) or 1.5 cups diced green chiles.
  • 2 medium plum tomatoes, sliced thin
  • 1–2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 – 8 large eggs (the more you use the thicker the casserole)
  • 1.5 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp favorite seasoning mix (I used adobe mix which includes garlic, onion, oregano, sea salt, chili pepper, and black pepper)
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (or basil works too)
  • 2 oz sliced cheese (mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar cheese work well. Non dairy cheese may be substituted)
  • optional — 1 cup diced cooked sausage or chicken.
  • salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a large casserole dish with a little cooking oil. Next lay out your crusts on the bottom. Then layer the diced green chiles, tomatoes, cheese, and ½ tablespoon cilantro over the crusts.
  2. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoon olive oil evenly over the layers.
  3. in another bowl, combine your eggs, milk, and seasoning mix. Additional salt/pepper if desired. Whisk or beat until the mixture looks uniform.
  4. Pour batter over the casserole dish. Add any additional veggies or cheese you’d like on top. Place in oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. (check at 30 minutes for doneness)
  5. Remove and garnish with the rest of your cilantro.

Notes

it’s best to use hearty bread crusts so that it gives it more a crunch on the edges. Be sure to layer the crusts evenly on the bottom.

For more authentic hatch green chile taste, use pre roasted green chile or simply roast your own before adding to the casserole!

    p.s. – sorry – I forgot to ask – what size casserole dish did you use? I assumed it was 9×13 but given it only feeds six, maybe this is for a smaller dish?

      Hi Mary! Totally understand your dilemma. THis is an oldie (but goodie) recipe. I updated it without bread here.

      https://www.cottercrunch.com/hatch-green-chile-egg-casserole/
      Or did you want to use a bread crust in the mix? if so, Just chop up the crust for 3 bread slices and mix it into batter. Gluten free. I found that to be easiest. I used a 9×13 pan but it didn’t fluff as much. I think smaller would be better. In the post I linked above I used 8×11. It truly is my fav egg casserole, and no crust.

    This casserole looks wonderful. I’m thinking of making it but am confused about the crust layer. The photos look more like you just cut a round hole out of the center of the slice of bread (maybe used a glass?) leaving a border of bread along the crust edge. Or should I cut very close to the crust? Secondly, Most of the comments are from folks who had not made it when they posted. It’s always helpful to read what readers’ experiences were when they made it. Have you got any more reviews from people who’ve tried it? Thanks!

    I used canned chilies which I cut up from whole. I live in Poland and I don’t know the names of the different chilies yet. I had some Ortega ones that someone brought me from the US. I used parmesan cheese and added a few olives on top. It was good. I served it with some hot sauce and sour cream. Thank you for the recipe.

      Hi Catalina! You layer the cheese on top of the tomatoes and bread. Then egg/milk batter goes on top. You can add additional cheese on top that if you’d like. Does that make sense? Let me know!

    As an FYI, the reason they are called Hatch Green (and Red) Chilies is because they are grown and harvested in and around Hatch, NM. The tiny village of Hatch, NM, which is about 40 miles north of Las Cruces, NM, is known as the Chile Capital of the World.

    We call these Anaheim chiles. Hatch are a variety of same.
    They are very mild and offer little to no heat.
    If you want more spicy, go with poblano peppers. They are often used to make chile relleno as are Anaheim chiles.
    I roast mine using a long meat fork over the flame of a gas burner on the stove.
    When the skin turns a dark brown or black, I peel it off under running water or you can use a big bowl of tepid water.
    They can then be stuffed or chopped and used in your recipe.
    I always roast my chiles as the skins are often tough and unpleasant.
    Thanks for this yummy recipe. I love the use of the large sliced tomatoes. : )

        Glad to assist. Poblano are not super spicy but more than the usual Anaheims from the store. They are a dark green and many people leave the skin on this particular pepper unless they are to be battered and deep fried for rellenos.
        Hope you come up with some other great recipes using chiles. : )

    Also, I have a large container of hatch chiles in my freezer begging to be made into something. As soon as I get some more tomatoes in the food share, I’m making this. I used all of them last weekend for a Vegetable Soup which will be coming to a blog near you, soon (cough, cough).

    Rule #1 about hatch green chillies: YOU MUST ROAST THEM FIRST. Period, no exceptions.

    If you are lucky, bought too many (no such thing), or have the willpower of a saint, you can then use those that you didn’t eat straight from the roaster in a recipe.

    Lindsay,
    I was in New Mexico twice (got married each time–same spouse) but never knew about Hatch chiles. Probably because neither time was in August, who knows. However, I did finally hear about the Hatch when we moved to Ohio (of all places). My local grocery store fired up the roaster in the parking lot and I walked my pup down the road to pick up a quart.
    Hatch chiles are now my go-to chile pepper–over and above what I get in our farm share!
    I love what you did with this casserole. I keep a stash of bread cubes in the freezer, from the ends of each loaf since it’s so hard to slice that last few inches, and I think they’d be perfect in this dish.
    Thanks!

    I really hope my parents move back to San Antonio so I can get my paws on some Hatch chiles. They are SO GOOD.

    I love breakfast strata’s and they do work really well on those busy school day mornings. I’ve never had a hatch chile, but guessing that they are mild if this is kid friendly. This looks wonderful Linds. Hope you had a great weekend- thank you for checking in on me on SC. Love you! xoxo

      Hatch chiles run the gamut from mild to super hot. And I mean super hot! I’ve eaten Hatch chile for years now. It is THE best chile period. (Can you tell I am biased?!)

        I’m from New Mexico (live in Arizona now), so I always have frozen green chile in my freezer. The only suggestion I have for your Hatch casseroles is to use them roasted and peeled. I think that would be better than adding them raw, although I haven’t tried your recipe yet. Try it with the roasted and peeled, chopped. I think you’ll agree!

          I was thinking the same thing! You even by them pre roasted! I’ll have to try that next. Thanks Norma

    This sounds fabulous! I really want to make it this week.

    My kiddos went off today–my son to high school for the first time. He also has his first h.s. soccer game so he had to wear his uniform today! I’m a sappy, sad mess, I must confess.

    Can you believe that I’ve never had a Hatch Green Chile? Definitely not a “thing” here in Virginia!

    Your casserole looks awesome, and I bet it tastes incredible if you were willing to turn on your oven in that Texas heat in order to make it! šŸ™‚ Pinned!

      “Hatch” green chile is fancier name for green chilies which are easily found in the Mexican food area of any market; it comes chopped (which is what this recipe calls for), or whole. Easily available to everyone!

        Hatch green Chile is Chile that comes only from Hatch, NM. It is harvested only during late summer early fall and only in NM. It ranges from mild like a pablano to hot like seranos. It has a unique flavor from pablanos and is not just some fancy term for any chopped green Chile you get in a can somewhere. It’s unique flavor comes from the type of soil and amount of rain fall in that region of NM. What you said here is considered blasphemy in NM. Having said that, I will be making this recipe as I have a freezer full of authentic Hatch chile from the last harvest and it looks delicious.

    I would never be able to make this. You want to know why? I always eat my crusts first! I love the crusts of bread! We don’t get any hatch chiles up here. Well, maybe for about a week. But I’ll be on the lookout!

    This is such a cool dish! I love how you used the crusts in it – totally drooling! We still have another week before school starts but I’m already getting a little nervous like I do each year.
