Chile Relleno Torte

I got this recipe from Diane Mott Davidson's Dying for Chocolate book.

It is a murder mystery - she has a series about a caterer in Colorado who solves crimes.

Ingredients
1/2 lb. grated cheddar cheese
1/2 lb. grated pepper jack cheese
5 eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cup  half-and-half
1 - 4 oz. can of diced green chiles, drained
1/4 cup picante sauce

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mixed grated cheeses and spread evenly in buttered 10-inch pie plate.
Beat eggs with hand mixer, add flour slowly, and then beat in half-and-half.
If mixture is lumpy, strain it.
Pour egg mixture over cheeses in pie plate.
Carefully spoon chiles over the surface, then spoon picante sauce over all.
Bake 45 minutes or until center is set.
