Chiles Rellenos Breakfast Bake

My family loves anything with a Southwestern flavor, so I turned classic chiles rellenos into a breakfast casserole. They became fans in an instant.

Ingredients :

  • 1 package (20 ounces) refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1 can (27 to 28 ounces) whole green chiles, opened flat
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage or fresh chorizo, cooked, drained and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Warmed flour tortillas (8 inches), sour cream and additional salsa

Directions :

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a greased 13x9-in. baking dish, layer half the potatoes, all the chiles, all the salsa, half the sausage and half the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, sausage and cheese.
  • Beat eggs and milk; add cumin, salt and pepper. Pour over potato mixture.
  • Bake, uncovered, until eggs are set in center, 35-40 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. If desired, serve with warm tortillas, sour cream and additional salsa.
