Ingredients
  

  • Poblano Peppers: 6-8 roasted, peeled, and seeded
  • Monterey Jack Cheese: 1 pound freshly shredded
  • Eggs: 8 preferably at room temperature
  • Milk: ½ cup
  • Flour: ⅓ cup
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Paprika: ½ teaspoon
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Pepper: ½ teaspoon

Instructions

  • Set the oven to a temperature of 350°F in preparation for baking.
  • Use a light application of nonstick spray to coat an 11x7-inch casserole dish evenly.
  • In a sizable mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved.
  • In a separate container, combine the milk, flour, baking powder, and seasonings. Ensure that there are no lumps and the ingredients are completely incorporated.
  • Integrate the milk and flour mixture with the whisked eggs, ensuring a smooth blend.

Casserole Assembly:

  • Lay out the roasted poblano peppers at the base of the casserole dish, ensuring they are spread out evenly without overlap.
  • Distribute approximately one-third of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the layer of peppers.
  • Add another layer of poblano peppers atop the cheese, then proceed to sprinkle another one-third of the cheese.
  • Pour the previously prepared egg mixture over the layers in the casserole dish, ensuring even coverage.
  • Garnish the top with the remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Position the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for a duration of 35-40 minutes, or until the top appears golden brown and the mixture has set.
  • Upon removal from the oven, let the casserole stand at room temperature for a period of 10 minutes to allow it to set further.
  • Before serving, if desired, garnish with finely chopped cilantro or parsley.
