Yes you can. Let the dish set out a bit before you put it in the hot oven so it doesn't break. Just a precaution.

Recipe was easy to make. Came out just as the picture shows. Didn't change anything in the recipe. Served it for brunch with avocado corn salsa and warm flour tortillas. Delicious! Great flavor combination! Will make again.

I used just Monterey Jack cheese and that gave it a lighter flavor. You could tast the green chilies a little more.
