8 oz. canned, diced green chiles
1 lb. Monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated
1 lb. Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
3/4 c. evaporated milk
4 eggs, separated

Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit. 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 1/2 an hour. Remove from oven and lay tomato slices over the entire top. Return to oven and bake 1/2 an hour longer, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Garnish with a sprinkling of green chiles.
