Ingredients

  • 3 halved and seeded poblano peppers
  • A touch of cooking spray
  • 6 slices of your favorite bread
  • A pound of fresh, flavorful Mexican chorizo
  • A tablespoon of versatile vegetable oil
  • Sliced medium onion for added depth
  • 8 eggs for richness
  • 2 cups of creamy milk
  • A hint of garlic powder for a kick
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate flavors
  • 1 ½ cups of a fragrant Mexican cheese blend

Step 1

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Get a baking sheet and line it with a sheet of aluminum foil. Arrange the peppers on the baking sheet with their cut sides facing down.

Step 2

Broil the peppers until their skins blacken and develop a blistered appearance, which usually takes around 5 to 8 minutes. Once done, transfer the blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly cover it with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam and cool for roughly 15 minutes.

Step 3

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and create a base layer using slices of bread.

Step 4

In a pan, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until it begins to brown, which should take about 3 minutes. Transfer the chorizo to a bowl. In the same pan, heat some oil and sauté the onion until it becomes tender, approximately 3 minutes. Peel the poblanos, slice them, and combine them with the onion mixture.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, and season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Spread the cooked chorizo over the bread slices, followed by the onion-poblano mix. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top and sprinkle a blend of cheeses to finish.

Step 7

Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the eggs set and the top turns a golden brown, usually around 30 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your chorizo in a cool, dark place to preserve its rich and spicy flavor.
  2. 2. Store your fresh vegetables in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator to keep them crisp and ready for chopping in the morning.
  3. 3. Utilize airtight containers to store any leftover chorizo and vegetable mixture, ensuring it stays fresh and flavorful for the next breakfast bake.
