Time 9h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces chorizo sausage
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 medium poblano peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
8 cups cubed Mexican bolillo rolls
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 ½ cups 2% milk
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground paprika
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
1 tablespoon snipped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook and stir chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan. Add onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in poblano peppers and bell pepper; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and return chorizo to the skillet.
  • Lightly grease a 3-quart rectangle or oval casserole dish. Spread 1/2 of the bread into the prepared dish and top with 1/2 of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with remaining bread and chorizo.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, oregano, and paprika together in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread and sausage. Cover and chill, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until an instant-read thermometer pressed into the center reads 170 degrees F (degrees C), 30 to 45 minutes more. Sprinkle with queso fresco during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let stand for 10 minutes and sprinkle with cilantro.
