Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 anaheim chilies, fresh
8 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Steam the chili pepper for about 10 minutes until they have softened. You can also choose to char them instead. Let them cool.
  • Slice each pepper lengthwise, removing the stem. Cut the pepperjack cheese into 8 equal chunks and then stuff a chunk into each pepper. (I cut them to make them fit lengthwise.) Place in a greased casserole. I use a small lasagna pan.
  • Beat the eggs, cream and salt until blended, then pour over the peppers.
  • Top with the cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before eating.
  • Can be frozen.
