Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand:

Main Ingredients

• 7 peppers (Poblano, Hatch, or Anaheim)
• 6 eggs (at room temperature)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 3/4 to 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream

Optional Ingredients

• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1 jalapeño or Serrano pepper, chopped
• Shredded queso Oaxaca or your favorite melting cheese

For the Salsa

• 4 Roma tomatoes
• Chile serranos or jalapeños
• Chile de árbol
• 1/8 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Salt (about 2 tsp, adjust to taste)

Step 2: Prepare the Peppers

1. Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the peppers until the skin is charred and blistered.
2. Peel the Skin: Once roasted, let the peppers cool. Peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds carefully.
3. Chop the Peppers: After peeling, chop the peppers into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Make the Batter

1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, black pepper, salt, baking powder, all-purpose flour, and milk or cream.
2. Whisk Together: Use a whisk or mixer to blend the ingredients until the batter is fluffy and well-combined. Ensure it’s not runny; a thick batter will hold the casserole together.

Step 4: Mix in Optional Ingredients

1. Add Chopped Vegetables: If using, mix in the chopped onion, Roma tomatoes, and jalapeño or Serrano pepper into the batter.
2. Incorporate Cheese: Fold in shredded cheese if you desire a cheesy casserole.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

1. Grease the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a casserole dish with oil or cooking spray.
2. Layer the Mixture: Pour half of the batter into the dish, then layer the chopped roasted peppers over it. Pour the remaining batter on top.

Step 6: Bake the Casserole

1. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it’s set and golden on top.
2. Check for Doneness: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 7: Prepare the Salsa

1. Blend Salsa Ingredients: In a blender, combine Roma tomatoes, serrano or jalapeño, onion, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary.
