Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Poblano peppers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken (optional)
- 2 cups, shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 9-inch round Refrigerated pie crust
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers, place them in a bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for 10 minutes.
While the peppers are steaming, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the corn kernels, cooked shredded chicken (if using), salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then set the mixture aside.
Once the peppers have steamed, carefully peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Mix the chopped peppers into the skillet mixture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Roll out the pie crust onto a 9-inch pie pan and press gently to fit the edges. Trim any excess dough hanging over the sides.
Pour the skillet mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Pour the cream and cheese mixture over the filling, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm.
