Cactus Paddle Casserole

This savory pudding makes a nice luncheon dish or hearty side dish for a simple dinner menu. It is also an excellent vegetarian main dish. When I had it in various parts of Oaxaca, the proportion of eggs to vegetables was higher. You can adjust it to your taste as you prefer. My mother reports that the dish is very good prepared with fresh ricotta cheese, which makes it moister.
