Creamy Chile Relleno Casserole
Ingredients
Main Layers:
8–10 roasted green chiles (poblano or Anaheim), peeled and seeds removed
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Egg Mixture:
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Topping:
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chiles:
Roast the green chiles on a grill, stovetop flame, or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered.
Place the roasted chiles in a covered bowl or plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, peel off the charred skin, remove seeds, and set the chiles aside.
Assemble the Casserole:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Layer half of the roasted chiles on the bottom of the dish.
Spread half of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses over the chiles.
Repeat with the remaining chiles and cheese to create a second layer.
Make the Egg Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered casserole.
Bake to Perfection:
Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish and Serve:
Slice the casserole into portions and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve warm with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
