John Wayne Casserole

John Wayne is famous around the Maricopa, Arizona, area as he was one of
the owners of Red River Farms, a large feed lot near there.

8 ounces canned, diced green chiles
1 pound Monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated
1 pound Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
3/4 cup evaporated milk
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix chiles and cheeses and put into a buttered
shallow casserole. In a small bowl combine milk, egg yolks, flour, salt
and pepper. In a large bowl beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold
whites into the yolk mixture. Then pour the mixture over the cheese and
chile mixture and carefully blend. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven
and lay tomato slices over the entire top. Return to oven and bake 30
minutes longer, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Garnish with a
sprinkling of green chiles.
