Time 2h21m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups grated pepper jack
1 1/2 cups grated medium cheddar
Sour Cream, garnish
Picante Sauce (store bought), garnish
6 poblano chile peppers, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds Mexican chorizo, or other hot sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
4 teaspoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons chili powder
5 corn tortillas, quartered
10 large eggs
3 cups half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped green onions, green tops only
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Roast the peppers by placing them on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, split in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and the stems.
  • Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the chiles in a flat layer across the bottom of the dish.
  • In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat, stirring to break up the meat, until browned. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and half-and-half with the hot sauce, salt and black pepper.
  • In another bowl, combine the green onions, cilantro, jack, and cheddar, and mix well.
  • Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture over the chiles in the dish, top with 1/3 of the tortilla quarters, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layering, ending with a cheese layer. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients. Let rest, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until bubbly and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the custard comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce.

Mexican Chorizo Breakfast Casserole image

I came up with this recipe when I was looking for a breakfast casserole, but wanted something different than the normal breakfast casseroles.

Provided by ckutac

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs

Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
cooking spray
6 slices bread
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line the bottom with bread slices.
  • Cook chorizo over medium-high heat until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat oil in the same pan. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 3 minutes. Peel poblanos and slice flesh. Mix with the onion.
  • Beat eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread chorizo over the bread slices. Cover with onion-poblano mixture. Pour the beaten eggs on top. Sprinkle cheese blend over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and top is starting to brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: To save time in the morning, chop the vegetables and cook the sausage the night before. You can also assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight, then bake it in the morning.
  • Choose your tortillas wisely: Corn tortillas are traditional, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soak them in warm water for a few minutes before assembling the casserole, to make them more pliable.
  • Layer it up: The order of the layers in the casserole is important. Start with a layer of tortillas, then add the sausage, vegetables, cheese, and eggs. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook it: The casserole is done when the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the casserole dry.
  • Serve it with your favorite toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de gallo are all great options. You can also add a dollop of hot sauce if you like it spicy.

Conclusion:

This Mexican Fiesta Breakfast Casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time, so it's great for busy mornings. With its flavorful combination of sausage, vegetables, cheese, and eggs, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
