Step-by-step method (timings, temperatures, technique cues)

1) Roast/char the peppers

  1. Char all 7 peppers completely (2 poblanos + 5 green peppers).
  2. Put charred peppers in a plastic bag, cover, and sweat at least 10 minutes.

2) Peel and prep chiles

  1. Peel chiles after sweating.
  2. Remove the stem.
  3. Cut open and remove seeds.
  4. Repeat for the rest.

3) Make the whipped egg base / batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Separate eggs: 6 egg whites from yolks.
  3. Whip egg whites with:
    • black pepper (1/2 tsp)
    • salt (3/4 tsp)
  4. Whip until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
    • Cue: when you flip the bowl, the whites shouldn’t fall.
    • Note: eggs should be room temperature.
  5. Add remaining batter ingredients:
    • egg yolks
    • baking powder (1/2 tsp)
    • all-purpose flour (1/3 cup)
    • milk (1/4 cup, room temperature)
  6. Mix on low speed until combined (avoid overmixing after combining, as implied).

4) Assemble the casserole

  1. Spray a small baking dish with avocado oil.
  2. Spread a little egg batter in the bottom (base layer).
  3. Fill and layer:
    • Place cheese + chopped onion/tomato/chile sano mixture inside prepared chiles.
    • Lay filled chiles on top of the batter.
    • Repeat until the bottom is covered.
  4. Lay the rest of the whole chiles on top.
  5. Pour over remaining egg batter until evenly covered.
  6. Top with the rest of the cheese.
    • Cheese used: 20 oz
    • Subtitles describe topping/covering after layering, then finishing with batter + cheese.

5) Bake

  • Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Rest: 20 to 25 minutes before serving.

Salsa method (with key steps)

  1. In a small saucepan, add:
    • 4 Roma tomatoes
    • small piece of onion
    • chile sano or jalapeno (used multiple chiles; exact counts unclear due to subtitles)
  2. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Transfer to a blender cup.
  4. Blend with:
    • 2 small garlic cloves
    • salt
    • black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp oregano
    • 1/4 cup water
  5. Blend until smooth.
  6. “Lightly fry” back in the saucepan:
    • Dry pan, add a little oil, heat to medium.
    • Add salsa; bring to a simmer.
    • Taste and adjust salt if needed.
    • Simmer 5 minutes.

Serving / plating suggestions & tips

  • After resting, cut into the casserole (chef suggests scraping sides first).
  • Serve with salsa:
    • spoon salsa over the casserole, or
    • place salsa on the bottom of the plate (both options mentioned).
  • Optional toppings:
    • GMA Mikana
    • optional meat addition (for variation)
  • Presenter notes it’s a casserole version intended to avoid frying:
    • easier/faster than traditional chile rellenos and helpful if you don’t like chile rellenos being “so oily.”

Variations explicitly mentioned

  • Egg fluffiness substitution: use heavy cream instead of milk to make the egg “a little bit even fluffier.”
  • Add meat: suggested as a creative option.
  • Toppings: salsa only, salsa + “GMA Mikana,” or other toppings “whatever you want.”
