  • Evenly layer poblano peppers from 1 can in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with ½ of the Jack and Cheddar cheeses, then cover with remaining poblano peppers.
  • Mix eggs, evaporated milk, and flour together in a bowl; if mixture is too thick, you can add ½ cup milk to thin to desired consistency. Pour over chiles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the top; continue baking for 15 more minutes.
  • Turn broiler on. Sprinkle top with remaining Jack and Cheddar cheeses. Place under the broiler until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

Canned poblano peppers can be found in Mexican stores, major grocery stores, and online. For richness, the video uses 3 eggs and an extra egg yolk.
