How To Make huevos ranchero casserole souffle

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450.
  • Step 2
    Butter a 9 x 13-inch oven-proof glass or earthenware casserole dish.
  • Step 3
    Make an incision along the length of each bell pepper and remove the stem, seeds and membranes, keeping the peppers whole.
  • Step 4
    Fill a medium-size saucepan or skillet halfway with water and bring it to a boil.
  • Step 5
    Add the peppers, let the water return to a boil and cook until the peppers are just softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Remove and blot them very dry with paper towels.
  • Step 7
    Let them cool completely and then line the bottom of the casserole with them.
  • Step 8
    Separate the eggs into 2 large bowls.
  • Step 9
    Beat the yolks until smooth, then stir in the cheese, corn, milk, jalapeno peppers and salt and black pepper.
  • Step 10
    Whisk the whites until soft peaks form, then fold them into the yolk mixture, gently stirring just until almost blended.
  • Step 11
    Scrape the mixture into the prepared dish and transfer it to the middle rack of the preheated oven.
  • Step 12
    Bake just until the eggs are puffy and the top is lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
  • Step 13
    Reduce the heat to 325 and continue cooking until the eggs are baked through but not dry, 22 to 25 minutes.
  • Step 14
    Test by inserting a knife into the center. It should come out almost clean.
  • Step 15
    Remove the pan and let it sit for a few minutes before cutting the casserole into 12 rectangles.
  • Step 16
    Serve each portion with some salsa spooned on top.
