Directions
1. Stack tortillas and cut into about 1/2-inch squares.

remaining cheese into sticks about 1/2 inch thick.

6. Separate eggs. Whip whites with mixer on high speed until they hold soft
but distinct peaks; set aside.
7. Mix eggs yolks (use unwashed beaters) with flour, then beat on high
speed until paler in color, about 2 minutes. Beat half of the whites into
the yolks, then fold in remaining whites and pour mixture over chilies,
scraping bowl. Top egg mixture with shredded cheese.
8. Bake in a 375 degree oven until topping is golden brown and feels firm
