I got inspired to create this recipe after trying unsuccessfully to remember my last egg bake recipe and failing- but the silver lining is that this creative take on a Mexican chili and Mexican baked eggs was created! Boy am I glad, because oh my gosh this was so soooooo good! So easy, and so dense in nutrition and protein- this was a winner for sure! The mix of flavors and the slight heat in this was also amazing!
Ingredients:
Cooking spray
12 eggs
Salt
1 bunch cilantro, stems trimmed and rough chopped
1.5 tbsp EVOO
1 white onion, diced
1 poblano pepper
1 lb ground turkey
Taco seasoning (I made my own with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper), to taste
1 15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 small can diced green chiles
1 15 oz can black beans, drained
1 15 oz can sweet yellow corn (I found a mexican version with bell peppers in it and used this)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400. Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray on bottom and sides and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and a pinch of salt together. Add in cilantro and stir well, set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, heat EVOO over medium high heat. Add onions and brown.
4. While the onions brown, roast the poblano pepper skin over a flame (I had a gas stove so this was easy) until the skin chars and blisters. When cool, remove the seeds and black skin, and dice and add to the onions.
5. Add the ground turkey and taco seasoning to the pan and crumble with the back of a spoon until the turkey is just cooked.
6. Take the pan off heat and add tomatoes, chiles, beans, and corn to the pan and mix well.
7. Pour the turkey mixture into the 9x13 dish, then pour the egg mixture over top and mix until combined evenly.
8. Bake for 50 min or until eggs are set and a knife comes out clean.
