Easy Chiles Rellenos Strata Recipe

• 4 large, fresh poblano chiles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red onion, minced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Butter, for coating the baking dish
• 1 pound sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 3/4 cups sour cream (1-pound container), plus more for topping if desired
• 1/2 cup Tomatillo Salsa (recipe link in intro), plus more for topping if desired
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 10 large eggs
• 3 1/2 cups half-and-half
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed

1. If you have a gas stove, lay one poblano at a time over high heat, turning occasionally, until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes per chile.
2. Alternatively, turn on the oven to high broil.
3. Once heated, place the poblanos on the top rack and broil until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes.
4. Place in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until the chiles are cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and cut the chiles into large dice.
6. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
7. Add the onion, season well with salt and pepper, and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
8. Set aside.
9. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
10. In a large bowl, combine the bread, poblanos, sour cream, sauteed onion, salsa, and cilantro until everything is coated in sour cream.
11. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and set aside.
12. Whisk the eggs with the half-and-half in a separate large bowl; season with the measured salt and a good amount of pepper.
13. Pour the custard over the bread mixture.
14. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
15. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the strata from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before you plan to bake it.
16. Bake until the strata is puffed, golden brown, and slightly set in the center, about 50 to 55 minutes.
17. Serve hot, topped with salsa and sour cream as desired.
