Directions

1

Preheat broiler. Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and put it into the oven. Broil until skin starts to blister and char, around 3 minutes per side. When peppers are roasted remove pan from oven and place the peppers in a paper bag. Let peppers sit in the closed paper bag for 10 minutes. Then remove them from the bag and remove skin, seeds, and stem. Chop peppers. Turn the broiler off and set the oven to 350 F.
2

Generously spray a 9 x 9, or other similar sized casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3

Combine milk, eggs, butter, and creamed corn in a large bowl. Mix until blended. Add dry ingredients (flour through salt) and mix well. Fold in chopped poblano peppers, frozen corn, and cheese. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
4

Bake at 350 F for 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
