Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9" x 13" casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Drain the 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes very well in a colander; let all excess liquid run off.
Thinly slice the full 1/2 cup green onions and set aside a few slices for garnish, if desired.
Add the drained tomatoes, the sliced green onions (except the reserved garnish), and the 4 oz can diced green chiles to the prepared casserole dish and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, beat the 14 eggs until blended. Add salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste and the 2 tsp Spike Seasoning; mix to combine.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese and 3/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato/onion/chile mixture in the casserole dish.
Pour the seasoned egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheeses in the dish. Stir gently with a fork or spatula to distribute the eggs and cheese mixture through the vegetables.
Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Monterey Jack and 1/4 cup Mozzarella over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven about 30 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set in the center and the top is lightly browned.
Let the casserole rest a few minutes, garnish with the reserved green onion slices if desired, and serve hot.
