Ingredients

4 servings
Eggs2 large
Canned tomatoes1 can (14.5 oz)
Garlic2 cloves
Onion0.5 medium
Olive oil2 tbsp
Saltto taste
Black pepperto taste
Oregano1 tsp dried
Cilantro0.25 cup fresh

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 8–10 minutes until the skin blackens, turning halfway through.

2

Transfer roasted peppers to a plastic bag for 5 minutes to steam. Remove, cool slightly, then peel off the charred skin. Carefully slit each pepper lengthwise and remove seeds, keeping the pepper intact.

3

In a bowl, combine shredded cheese. Stuff each pepper with cheese, dividing evenly.

4

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.

5

Add canned tomatoes and oregano. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Lightly oil a baking dish. Arrange stuffed peppers seam-side up in the dish and pour tomato sauce around them.

7

Bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
