Chorizo Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
  • 3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • cooking spray
  • 6 slices bread
  • 1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
1
Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and set it to broil. Preheat the oven's broiler function to its highest temperature setting. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
2
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has developed a charred and blistered appearance, taking between 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, taking about 15 minutes.
3
In parallel, preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line the bottom surface with bread slices.
4
Cook chorizo over medium-high heat until it starts to develop a golden-brown color, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer the cooked chorizo to a bowl. Heat oil in the same pan and add an onion; cook and stir until it becomes tender, taking about 3 minutes. Peel the poblanos and slice their flesh. Combine the cooked onion with the sliced poblanos.
5
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
6
Spread the cooked chorizo over the bread slices. Cover with the onion-poblano mixture. Pour the beaten eggs on top, making sure to cover everything evenly. Sprinkle a cheese blend over the top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set and the top is starting to brown, taking approximately 30 minutes.
