How to Make Low Carb Chile Rellenos Flourless

  1. Steam 8 large poblano peppers for 10-12 minutes, or until softened. Alternatively, char the peppers directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning frequently, until blackened on all sides.
  2. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, slice each pepper lengthwise and remove the stem and seeds.
  4. Cut 8 ounces of pepper jack cheese into 8 equal chunks.
  5. Stuff a chunk of pepper jack cheese into each pepper half.
  6. Grease a small (approximately 8x8 inch) lasagna pan or casserole dish.
  7. Arrange the stuffed peppers in the prepared pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and frothy.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the peppers.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Can be frozen for later enjoyment!
  13. (Optional) Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
