Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined. Stir in the shredded Mexican cheese blend, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped cilantro until evenly distributed.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, combine the egg base with the sliced kale, chopped tomatoes, corn kernels, and tortilla chips. Toss gently with a spatula until all ingredients are evenly coated with the egg mixture.
-
Step 3.
Transfer the mixture to a 2- to 2½-quart baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cover the dish with foil or a lid and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the egg is set and the cheese is melted. Uncover for the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
