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

Instructions
-
Set the oven to a temperature of 350°F in preparation for baking.
-
Use a light application of nonstick spray to coat an 11×7-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.
