Ingredients

• 4 large Poblano peppers
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 premade or homemade Pie crust
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

Step 2

Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until the skins are charred and blistered. Transfer them to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Peel the skins off the peppers and remove the seeds and stems. Cut the peppers into strips and set aside.

Step 4

In the prepped pie crust, layer half of the roasted poblano strips evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese over the peppers.

Step 5

Layer the remaining poblano strips over the cheese, followed by the rest of the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the pie crust.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden, and the filling is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
