How to Make Spicy Breakfast Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roast the peppers: Place 4 large bell peppers directly on an open gas flame, turning frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black (7-10 minutes).
- Place blackened peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool (15 minutes).
- Peel, halve, seed, and stem the cooled peppers.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon of butter.
- Spread the roasted peppers in a flat layer on the bottom of the dish.
- Cook sausage: In a large skillet, cook 1 lb. sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (8-10 minutes).
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 bell pepper (chopped) to the sausage; cook for 4 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves garlic (minced) and 1 tbsp chili powder; cook for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Cook tortillas: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 6 corn tortillas (6-inch), 30 seconds per side, until softened. Cut each into quarters.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup half-and-half, 1 tbsp hot sauce, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
- Combine cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup chopped green onions, ½ cup chopped cilantro, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Layer the bake: Spoon ⅓ of the sausage mixture over the peppers. Top with ⅓ of the tortilla quarters and ⅓ of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice, ending with a cheese layer.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with salsa and sour cream, if desired.
