Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces poblano peppers Choose firm and smooth peppers
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray For greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the poblano peppers under the broiler. Roast for about 5-10 minutes until the skins are charred and blistered.
  • Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for about 10 minutes.
  • Once cool, peel the charred skins off and slice down one side, removing the seeds to create a pocket.

Stuffing

  • Pack shredded cheese generously into each pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin until well combined.
  • Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil spray and place stuffed peppers inside.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the stuffed peppers, ensuring they are covered.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg is set and slightly golden on top.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
