Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour until smooth.
Spread a layer of roasted green chiles evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chiles and pour half of the egg mixture over it.
