Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 6 pieces poblano peppers Firm and deep green for best flavor
  • 1 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (optional)

Egg Mixture

  • 6 pieces eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roast the poblano peppers directly on a grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until charred and blistered.

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Assembly

  • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the peppers, followed by half of the egg mixture.
  • Repeat the layering with the remaining ingredients, finishing with cheese on top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
  • Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
