How to Make Simple Chiles Rellenos Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Lay 6 large poblano peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded, flat in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Evenly cover the peppers with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg yolks into the egg whites until just combined.
  7. Evenly spoon the egg mixture over the cheese layer.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg is lightly browned and set.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with refried beans and your favorite salad.
