How to Make Chile Relleno Torta

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 10-inch pie plate with butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until light and frothy.
  5. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup half-and-half. If the mixture is lumpy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese in the pie plate.
  8. Arrange 6-8 roasted poblano chiles (about 1 cup, sliced or halved lengthwise) over the egg mixture.
  9. Spoon 1 cup of your favorite picante sauce over the chiles.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
