Ingredients
  

4 large poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and diced

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon baking powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

    In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

      In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cumin, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

        Layer half of the roasted and diced poblano peppers at the bottom of the greased casserole dish.

          Sprinkle half of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the peppers.

            Pour half of the egg mixture over the first layer.

              Add the remaining poblano peppers, followed by the remaining cheese, and then pour the rest of the egg mixture on top.

                Evenly distribute the diced tomatoes over the top of the casserole.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
