2(4-ounce) cans diced green chiles

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish.Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up as it cooks, until no pink remains - about 8 minutes. Drain on a plate with paper towels, then return to the skillet over low heat and stir in the cream cheese and green chiles, until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.Whip the eggs in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk to combine. The mixture will be slightly lumpy from the flour, but it will bake out. Fold in the sausage-cream cheese mixture along with 2 1/2 cups of the cheese. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake 35-40 minutes.Cool 5 minutes to set before cutting.
