Ingredients
- 1/2 large red onion sliced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 6 each Poblano chiles or pasilla chiles
- 2 ears corn or canned, drained. About 2/3 cup
- 1-15 ounce black beans rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup red pepper diced
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated and divided
- 12 eggs large
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Marinate Onion
- In a small bowl marinate the onion with the red wine vinegar for 30 minutes.
Prepare Chiles
- Place the oven rack 6-8 inches from the heat source. Turn the broiler on high and lay the poblano chiles out on a baking sheet lined with foil (for easy clean up). Broil for 10 minutes or until blackened. Turn the peppers over as needed to evenly blacken the skin.
- Remove the peppers from the oven. Place the peppers in a paper bag and close to seal. Let the peppers sit until cooled.
- Carefully peel the skin keeping the pepper intact as best as possible.
- Cut a slit all the way down the front of each pepper and carefully remove all the seeds using a spoon or small knife.
Prepare the Filling
- Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix the corn kernels with the black beans, diced red pepper, cotija cheese and ¾ cup of the monterey jack cheese.
- Add the red onion with the red wine vinegar and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the Peppers
- Add the corn mix into each pepper evenly and place in the prepared baking pan.
Whisk Eggs
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the flour and baking powder until thoroughly combined. Add the remaining ¼ cup monterey cheese and mozarella cheese.
- Pour egg mixture around stuffed poblano chiles. Bake at 375°F for 30-45 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with your favorite toppings if desired; creama, sour cream, salsa or avocado slices.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add some diced jalapeños or Anaheim peppers to the filling.
- You can also substitute store-bought roasted poblanos for fresh ones if you don’t have the time to roast them yourself.
- Instead of stuffing the chiles, you can layer the chiles between the bean-corn mix.
- Additionally, you could use pepper jack cheese or cheddar cheese instead of Monterey Jack if that is what your family prefers.
- If you are not a fan of egg yolks, you can use all egg whites for this casserole to make it a little healthier for your family.
