Roast the poblano chiles. You can do this over your store top. I have an electric range and roll the chiles directly on the burner. If you have have a gas stove, hold them directly in the flame using tongs.

When all sides of the chiles are charred, wrap each chile in a warm moist paper towel. Let set for two minutes. The skin should come off fairly easily now. Peel the charred skin from the chiles.

Cut a slit nearly the full length of each chile. Remove the seeds and hanging membrane. Set aside.

In a large frying pan at medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Place finished bacon on stacked paper towels. Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan, leaving only about 1 teaspoon.

Return pan to stove top and add onion. Saute for about one minute until tender. Add tomato puree and cook for 2 more minutes - stirring occasionally.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, cumin and salt.

Add the egg mixture and bacon pieces to the frying pan. Continue to cook - stirring often - until eggs are set.

Stuff each chile with equal amounts of the egg mixture.

Place chiles cut-side-down in a medium baking pan. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over chiles.

Bake for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Serve warm.


The poblano chile originated in Mexico near the city of Pueblo. "Poblano" means "pepper from Pueblo".
