BREAKFAST CHILE RELLENOS



Breakfast Chile Rellenos image

A delicious and healthy remake, Breakfast Chile Rellenos, stuffed with sausage, eggs and cheese. This low carb breakfast is easy to make ahead of time and is perfect for the holiday season! These easy chile rellenos aren't fried, but baked with a layer of cheese on top, for a still-indulgent but healthier option.

Provided by Michelle Miller

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 poblano peppers (*choose large peppers)
4 eggs
2 cups pepperjack cheese (shredded)
4 Jones Dairy Farm Golden Brown Pork Sausage Patties
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 onion (chopped)
1 can diced tomatoes (14 ounce)
1 jalapeno (diced, seeded if desired (to reduce heat))
1 cup water
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cinnamon sticks (or 1 teaspoon cinnamon)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Start by blanching the poblanos. Boil water in a large pot, and then add the peppers for about 10 minutes, until they are soft when pierced with a fork. I like to put the lid on my pot to keep them from floating, but you can also just flip them over half way through.
  • Preheat oven to 425º F.
  • Remove the chiles from the boiling water, and make a lengthwise slice. Don't cut the pepper in half - you just want to be able to stuff the inside of the pepper. If your chiles are really hot, of you don't want these to be too spicy, you can use a spoon to remove the seeds.
  • Make some scrambled eggs, and brown the Jones Dairy Farm Golden Brown Pork Sausage patties. Cut the patties in half and set aside.
  • Add the chile relleno sauce to a baking dish, and then add the peppers into the dish. Stuff the peppers with 1/4 of the cheese, 1 scrambled egg, and 1 sausage patty (two 1/2s) each. Top the dish with extra cheese.
  • Bake the chile rellenos for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling. If you make your chiles ahead of time and the sauce has cooled or chilled before baking, then cover the dish with foil and cook for 15 minutes, and then remove the foil and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has begun to bubble and brown.
