Ingredients

• 6 large poblano peppers
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred.
3. Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a ziplock bag. Seal the bag and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes, remove the peppers from the bag and carefully peel off the charred skins. Make a small cut on one side of each pepper to remove the seeds and membranes.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
6. Stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the cheese mixture and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
8. Pour the egg mixture over the stuffed peppers in the baking dish, making sure to evenly coat each pepper.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
11. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
12. Serve hot as a main dish or with your favorite sides.
