Chile Relleno Casserole {Healthy And Gluten Free}
- 14 ounces poblano chiles {I like Ortega Brand}
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes
- salt
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese {or Rice Cheese for healthier version}
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves minced
- 6 whole eggs
- 12 egg whites {I used Costco Eggs - inexpensive for organic eggs}
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese {or Rice Cheese for healthier version}
- sour cream or Greek Yogurt for topping
- 1. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan, on low. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and keep the heat to low. Gently simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 2. Preheat oven to 375u0b0. Pour tomato sauce into the bottom of an 8x12 inch baking dish (the tomato sauce should be the consistency of a thin spaghetti sauce. If it is too thick, thin it out with a little water).
- 3. Layer the Chile's over the tomato onion mixture. Top with 1/2 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese.
- 4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, baking powder, oregano and a pinch of salt. Pour egg mixture over chiles and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- 5. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 more minutes or until the top starts to brown and the eggs are set but still soft {check center as oven times vary}.
- Top with Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt - and enjoy! And don't forget to pair it with a fabulous salad to add those extra veggies into your diet!
