Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven's broiler and place the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the poblano peppers on it. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened and blistered.
  • Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Let them steam for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, cut a slit down one side of each pepper, and remove the seeds and stems.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Lay half of the roasted peppers in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the peppers. Repeat with the remaining peppers and 2 more cups of cheese to create a second layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered peppers and cheese, ensuring it seeps into all the crevices.
  • Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, salsa, or chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
