Ingredients
8 medium poblano peppers
4 large eggs
0.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.33 cups milk
0.5 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoons salt
1
, 12 ounce

, 8 ounce
Instructions
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
2
Broil peppers on top rack of the preheated oven until skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth.
5
Slice queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.
6
Carefully peel and discard waxy skin from cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down length of each pepper; remove and discard seeds and membranes with a spoon.
7
Spread about 1/4 cup egg mixture on bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Insert 1 queso fresco rectangle into slit of each pepper; place peppers into the baking dish in a single layer, seam-sides down. Pour remaining egg mixture over top and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until egg mixture has risen and cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
