Large Eggs
Whole Milk
All-Purpose Flour

Onion
Garlic Powder
Cumin
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast poblano peppers on a baking sheet until charred and soft, about 20 minutes.
While the peppers cool, sauté chopped onions in a skillet until translucent.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, sour cream, garlic powder, and cumin until smooth.
Grease a baking dish. Layer half of the batter on the bottom, add roasted peppers and shredded cheese, then pour the remaining batter on top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add black beans or corn for extra flavor and texture.
Swap regular cheese for pepper jack for added spice.
Refrigerate assembled casserole overnight to save time on baking day.
