Instructions
- Roast the chile peppers by broiling or cooking over a flame until the skin is blackened.
- Let them sit in a bowl covered in plastic wrap for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Peel the blackened skin off the peppers, then remove the seeds and chop.
- Use a 9 x 6 inch casserole dish for a thick casserole you can cut into squares. Use an 11 x 7-inch baking dish for a thinner casserole better for tortilla chips.
- Spray the baking dish with nonstick spray. Then spread the chili peppers in a single layer and sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Combine the eggs, milk, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well making sure there are no lumps.
- Pour the mixture over the chile peppers and cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes until it is light golden brown on top.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, jalapenos, avocado, green onions or other toppings.
Notes
- You can use other types of chile peppers if you like, such as hatch chiles. The spicier the chile peppers the spicier the resulting dish will be.
