✅Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375. Use ghee and oil a 9 x 13 casserole dish; set aside.
2. Start by preparing your poblano peppers. To blacken them, follow one of the two options below.
1⃣Option 1: Gas Range Method. Turn a burner to highest setting and place the pepper on top of the burner to blacken the skin. Use tongs to turn the pepper until skin is completely blackend.
2⃣Option 2: Oven Method. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Lay peppers on their side on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes to char the skin. Flip pepper and repeat on opposite side. When done, the peppers should be soft and slightly collapsed.
After blackening each pepper, place it in a bowl and cover with paper towel or tin foil to let the pepper sweat. You’ll want to sweat the peppers for 15 minutes. Next remove the cover and begin to peel the blackened skin. After removing skins, remove seeds and dice peppers into 1” pieces. Set aside.
3. Begin layering your casserole, starting with the sausage, followed by mushrooms and red peppers. Be sure to spread each layer evenly across the dish.
4. Next, use a whisk and beat the eggs; while mixing add in salt, pepper, scallions and half the cheese. Pour egg mixture into the casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
5. Top with the diced poblano peppers and remaining cheese.
6. Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes.
