Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x9 glass pan with olive oil or spray oil. Set aside.
2

In a medium saute pan, heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the potato and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the bell peppers and saute another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the beans, corn, and green chile.
3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, and cumin. Stir in the cilantro, green onion, and 1 cup of the cheese. Stir in the vegetable mixture.
4

Add the bowl contents to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
5

Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the casserole is lightly browned and the middle is set. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
