Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla Pie

Recipe Added:  11/9/2012
3 10-inch flour tortillas, white or wheat
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, making sure an oven rack is in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray. Overlap and layer the three tortillas, pressing them into the dish, so that the bottom and sides of the pie plate are evenly covered with tortilla. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with 1 cup of the cheese, cilantro, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Spread the mixture into the pie plate.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth. Slowly pour liquid mixture into the pie plate covering the chicken evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
