MEXICAN EGG BAKE

This is an easy recipe that's great to take to a potluck at friends or for a Sunday breakfast. I made it for my work party and my husband brought it to his. In those cases I used the throwaway pans. It's quick and delicious. It's a fantastic leftover.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h21m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups grated pepper jack
1 1/2 cups grated medium cheddar
Sour Cream, garnish
Picante Sauce (store bought), garnish
6 poblano chile peppers, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds Mexican chorizo, or other hot sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1 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 hot red pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions, green tops only
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

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.
  • In another bowl, combine the green onions, cilantro, jack, and cheddar, and mix well.
  • 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. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce.

Tips:

  • Prep in advance: For a quick and easy breakfast, prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, simply pop it in the oven and bake.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, vegetables, and herbs will give your egg bake the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through but still slightly soft and fluffy. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the egg bake is cooked, you can top it with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
  • Serve immediately: Egg bakes are best served hot out of the oven. If you're making it ahead of time, reheat it gently in the oven before serving.

Conclusion:

A Mexican egg bake is a delicious and easy breakfast that can be customized to your liking. With its combination of eggs, vegetables, and Mexican spices, it's a great way to start your day. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weekday breakfast or a special brunch dish, a Mexican egg bake is sure to please.
