HATCH GREEN CHILE MEXICAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4/5)



Hatch Green Chile Mexican Breakfast Casserole Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by kipscookbook

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 hatch green chile peppers roasted & peeled
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 pound hot sausage
1/2 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
4 teaspoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons chili powder
5 corn tortillas, quartered
10 large eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon tabasco
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated pepper jack
1 cup grated medium cheddar

Steps:

  • Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, split in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and the stems. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the chiles in a flat layer across the bottom of the dish. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until browned. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half with the hot sauce, salt and black pepper. Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture over the chiles in the dish, top with 1/3 of the tortilla quarters, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, ending with a cheese layer. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Optional: Serve with sour cream, picante sauce, cilantro, and flour or corn tortillas.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Fresh tortillas make a big difference in the final product. - Don't overcook the eggs, or they will become tough. - Season the casserole generously with salt and pepper. - Add your favorite toppings before serving, such as salsa, cheese, avocado, or sour cream. - Serve the casserole immediately, or it will become soggy.

Conclusion:

This Mexican breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and flavor. It is also a great way to use up leftover tortillas. Serve it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
