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
Directions
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
2
Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line the bottom with bread slices.
4
Cook chorizo over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat oil in the same pan. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Peel poblanos and slice flesh. Mix with the onion.
5
Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6
Spread chorizo over the bread slices. Cover with onion-poblano mixture. Pour the beaten eggs on top. Sprinkle cheese blend over the top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and top is starting to brown, about 30 minutes.
