    Chile Relleno Breakfast Bake combines all the flavors of traditional chile rellenos in an easier to make casserole.

    If you adore Chile Relleno but don't like frying, here's a tasty breakfast casserole with all the same fabuloso flavors.

    I adore Chile Rellenos and order it whenever I get the opportunity. But the prospect of making it at home doesn't thrill me since I hate frying.

    This would be delicious for breakfast or brunch. I made it as a quick weeknight meal.

    You can double or triple it to serve a crowd and bake it in a 9X13 pan.

    Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole.

    What type of peppers should you use?

    Traditionally, chile rellenos are made with poblano peppers, but you can use Anaheim or Hatch peppers instead. Or mix and match.

    Ingredients
     

    • 4 large poblano or Anaheim peppers
    • 4 ounce cotija cheese
    • 8 Large eggs
    • ¼ cup milk
    • ½ teaspoon oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon cumin
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (grated)
    • salsa, guacamole, sour cream, tortillas (for serving)

    Instructions
     

    • Place chiles on a broiler pan and broil until the skin begins to blacken and blister. Place in a small bowl and cover for about 5 minutes. Reduce oven to 375°.
    • While chiles are steaming, in a medium bowl scramble eggs, milk and spices.
    • Remove stem, seeds and skin from peppers. Stuff each with 1 ounce of Cotija cheese and place in a pie plate.
    • Pour egg mixture over the peppers, top with cheese.
    • Bake at 375° until done, 15-20 minutes. Serve with salsa.

    Notes

    This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd. Use a 9 x 13" pan and allow a bit longer to bake.
