Baked Chile Rellenos Casserole delivers all the bold, comforting flavors of traditional chile rellenos — without the frying. Roasted green chiles are layered with generous amounts of melty cheese, then baked in a light, fluffy egg mixture and topped with rich tomato sauce for a golden, bubbly finish.
The roasted chiles provide smoky depth and gentle heat, while Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese melts beautifully into creamy layers. The egg batter puffs slightly as it bakes, creating a soft, custard-like texture that holds everything together.
Finished with a savory tomato or enchilada sauce, this casserole captures the essence of classic Mexican comfort food in a simple, family-friendly format. It’s perfect for weeknight dinners, brunch gatherings, or potlucks.
