This easy Chile Relleno Casserole has all the flavor of classic chiles rellenos – roasted poblano peppers, melty cheese, and a zesty tomato-chile sauce – baked into a simple one-pan casserole with eggs. No deep frying, just big, bold flavor you can serve for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.
In this video I’ll show you how to:
– Build a quick skillet sauce with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and spices
– Layer the roasted chiles, cheese, and eggs into a hearty chile relleno bake
– Customize the heat level with jalapeños (or go hotter with serranos or habaneros)
– Add protein like Mexican chorizo, shredded chicken, ground beef or pork
This is a great make-ahead Mexican-inspired casserole that’s naturally low carb and easy to make gluten-free. Serve it with warm tortillas, beans, rice, or just a splash (or three!) of your favorite hot sauce.

Omg Mike, this looks amazing. Watching this makes my poor little microwave burritos taste better. lol
Not a fan of the new balloon comment.
Looks great have to try
You are making a quiche, a really good quiche, but that what it is
This looks amazing!
Why olive oil though… why does everyone insist on this nasty ass oil?
If I learned anything, seeds are good…usually.
Hope flesh isn’t involved, but…great taste channel.
Edit: I missed out on the egg.
Well done.
Just finished my Minimalist Backers Tostadas. Love you both.
OUTSTANDING
So many alternatives available as a casserole, including a crunchy chile relleno exterior, my favorite. Thanks!
You nailed it Mike!!!
This looks so good! Going to be our Christmas breakfast i think. Awesome recipe, cheers 🍻
Your sub count is climbing, wasn't this time last year you were under 100k ? Good work.
This would be a fantastic Sunday morning breakfast (crema y salsa picosa mandatory) with a michelada!
Yummy. Can't wait to try this
I'm definitely making this on Sunday, and adding crumbled bacon and sausage! Great recipe and I thank you for sharing it!
Oh yes more garlic for me too! I could eat that every day Mike! Yum Yum in my tum. I'd add meat too!
I don't trust anyone that doesn't like garlic. I love piling on garlic.
You are the Go Ahead King! 😄I'm guessing ex-Army.
And the casserole looks soooo good!
What's YOUR favorite breakfast?
Chile relleno is scrumptious but labor intensive so anything to simplify is highly desirable.👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆

Ghost pepper?
I'm not a macho enough Mexican American for that much heat.
Hell no buddy!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Love one pan dishes, especially when they involve my cast iron. This seems like a great breakfast dish. I’ll just put the refried beans on the side.
LooksgreT
I wish we had fresh Hatch Chilies in San Diego 😢 looks delicious. Thanks Mike
Made it this morning, what a winner! Added shredded chicken and used 6 eggs instead of 4. Topped w/ cilantro and jalapeño. So tasty, satisfying & clean. Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring! My wife tells me that I AM making this again! Thanks so much for this fab recipe…
PSA: Beans are protein. Looks good!
I know where ive seen you mike, your the T-1000 in terminator! I cant unsee it now
Looks absolutely fantastic! …. I'm thinking I might add bacon.🔥🔥
Won't those tomatoes strip the seasoning from your cast iron?
Looks delicious.Trying to cook without cheese so I will substitute But I still love it in a sandwich.

whip the egg whites first then fold in the yolks, then into the pan for baking…… big difference.

That's kinda my recipe for frittata ❤
It's almost that time of year here to start planning our gardens for next year. Can you share what are some of the staples that you plant? Thanks.
Looks delicious!
What cheeses do you recommend if I want it to taste like a traditional chili relleno?
Sounds delicious…I think I would add cream or half & half to the eggs, though.
Yeah I will be respectful, stop taking absolutely great Mexican cooking and turning them to casseroles. They are not casseroles for a reason.
God bless
For a breakfast casserole like that, I would definitely add some bacon.
❤
Followed the recipe, that was tasty but……..
Big ol bunch of mush
