A delicious egg bake that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. I love this recipe because it has a wonderful slightly firm but yet light texture. The flavors of the cheese, eggs, and green chile work nicely together to make this a very satisfying dish. This dish is also very versatile as it can be served for breakfast, brunch or for a light dinner. I served this souffle for dinner and it was perfect. You probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen so it is great to fix if you are in a time crunch.
