Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (or similarly sized) baking dish.
- Roast poblanos over a gas flame or under a broiler until blistered. Place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes, then peel, stem, and seed.
- Split each pepper lengthwise (or slit the top), remove seeds if desired, then fill each with an even mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar. Arrange the stuffed chiles seam-side up in the prepared dish.
- In a bowl, whisk the 6 eggs until smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Optional: add a splash (2-3 tbsp) of milk or cream for a silkier custard.
- Pour the whisked eggs over and around the stuffed chiles so the egg fills the gaps and coats the cheese-filled peppers.
Baking
- Place the dish in the middle rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for safety.
- Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes out of the oven; this helps it firm up for cleaner slices.
- Top with pico de gallo, dollops of sour cream, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro just before serving.
