Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chile Rellenos Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Chop the cauliflower, bell peppers, onion, and garlic. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the vegetables for about 5–7 minutes until tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed veggies with eggs, cheese, and sour cream. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; stir until creamy.
  4. Lightly grease your baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for approximately 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  6. Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps it set for easier slicing.
