Ingredients
- 6 medium Poblano peppers

- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Almond flour

- Preheat broiler. Roast poblanos on a sheet pan, turning, until skins blister, 8-10 minutes. Steam in a covered bowl 10 minutes, then peel and slit lengthwise to remove seeds.
- Lower oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- Lay poblanos open in the dish; tuck Monterey jack slices inside. Sprinkle cheddar over the top.
- Whisk eggs, cream, almond flour, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the peppers.
- Bake 30-35 minutes until set and golden on top. Rest 5 minutes; cut into squares.
