How to Make Fiesta Brunch Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables (1 red bell pepper, 1/2 yellow bell pepper, 1/2 red onion, 4 jalapeños, seeded and minced, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. While vegetables roast, lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking pan.
  6. Arrange 6 corn tortillas in the bottom of the pan to create a crust.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Once roasted, gently remove the vegetables from the baking sheet and let them cool slightly.
  10. Evenly distribute the roasted tomatoes over the tortillas in the prepared pan.
  11. Spoon the remaining roasted vegetables over the tomatoes, breaking apart the onions.
  12. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden brown.
  14. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 6 portions.
  15. Garnish each serving with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and/or your favorite salsa.
