Hatch Green Chile Mexican Breakfast Casserole Recipe 45

HATCH GREEN CHILE BREAKFAST EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place the Hatch green chile pepper on the foil. Once the broiler is ready place the peppers in the oven, and broil them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the skin is browned. Remove the peppers from the oven, and set them aside.
• Turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a small pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil, and sauté the onion and spinach together on medium to medium high heat for about 3 minutes or until they are fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until they are light and fluffy. Add the flour (or starch), baking powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cumin.
• Blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds until they are just combined and smooth. Stir in the canned green chilies (8 ounces).
• Layer the bottom of an 8×11 casserole dish with the cooked spinach and onion. (See notes for other sizes of dishes.)
• Then, add a few slices of cheese, followed by the egg and green chile batter.
• Once cooled, peel the skin off the roasted hatch green chiles and slice them length-wise, removing the stem. Layer the top of the casserole with tomato, slices, sliced roasted Hatch green chiles, and more cheese.
• Place the casserole in the oven, and bake for 30-40 minutes. Check the casserole after 30 minutes. If the outside is brown but the inside is still not set, cover the dish, and continue to bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. For crispy edges, set the oven to broil the last minute of cooking.
• Remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle it with extra cheese (if desired) and fresh cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.

HATCH CHILE MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Roast and peel hatch chiles*
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Add ground beef to a large pan over medium heat. Once meat is halfway cooked through, add onion, jalapeño, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper.
• Once meat is cooked through, add hot sauce and diced tomatoes and let cook on low for 3-5 minutes.
• Once meat is cooked through, grab out individual baking dishes to create the casseroles with. If you don't have individual baking dishes, you can use a bread pan to create the casserole.
• Grease each individual baking dish (I used four) then begin the layers. Lie 2 hatch chiles flat, then top with ground beef mixture, cheese (if you are eating dairy), 2 more hatch chiles, ground beef and more cheese. Repeat with other individual baking dishes.
• Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
• While casseroles bake, add avocados, cilantro, lime, lemon, olive oil, cumin and salt to a food processor and puree until smooth.
• Top casseroles with avocado puree.

HATCH GREEN CHILE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large cast iron skillet, cook the sausage over medium high heat until completely cooked through. Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional 3 minutes to soften pepper. Break up sausage into small crumbles with spatula. Set aside 1/4 cup of meat and pepper mixture.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and mustard.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread, egg mixture, green chiles, sausage and bell pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Stir to combine well. Cover with plastic or transfer to a large ziploc bag, then place in fridge and let sit for approximately 30 minutes or until egg mixture has been entirely absorbed.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease and 8 inch spring form cake pan. Pour in the bread mixture. Top with reserved sausage and cheese then cover loosely with tin foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until golden and set in the middle. Remove from oven and let rest for about 5 minutes before removing spring form. Garnish with green onion and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place the shredded potatoes in a bowl, cover with water, and set aside. Bring the onion, garlic, green chiles, and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens; turn off the heat.
• Meanwhile, place the strips of bacon on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, and cook on High until crisp, about 1 minute per strip; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Drain the potatoes, and add to the skillet. Spoon hot oil over the potatoes; sprinkle with the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flip the potatoes occasionally, but let them fry until crispy bits form and the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Place the tortillas between two damp paper towels. Microwave on High until warm, about 30 seconds.
• Spray a separate skillet with butter flavored cooking spray and cook the eggs over medium heat, whisking them continuously until the eggs are completely set; turn off the heat.
• Lay a tortilla flat in front of you. Place some potatoes, scrambled egg, and a strip of bacon on the lower third, leaving about an inch of room from the bottom, and about 1-1/2 inches on the left and right clear for folding the burrito. Spoon on a little of the green chile sauce, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Fold the left and right edges into the middle about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Take the bottom edge closest to you with the stuffing and pick it up, pulling it OVER the filling, while keeping the sides in place until that edge now touches the tortilla about 7/8 of the way up to the top edge. Check to see that the sides are still tucked well. If they aren't slide them in a bit now that you have the filling covered. Finish by tucking the bottom flap that you pulled over the filling UNDER the filling a bit to seal it, then continue rolling the burrito up to the top edge, forming a tight cylinder. Let it rest seam-side down, and it will stay nice and tight. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
