Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk the two eggs with reduced-fat milk, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until pale and frothy. Set aside.
2
Char
Set the poblano directly over a gas flame or under a broiler on high heat, turning every 1 to 2 minutes for about 8 minutes until the skin is blackened and blistered all over.
3
Rest
Place the charred poblano in a covered bowl for 5 minutes until the steam loosens the skin. Peel off the blackened skin, remove seeds and stem, then slice into strips.
4
Sauté
Warm the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion turns translucent and smells sweet.
5
Fold
Add the poblano strips to the skillet and stir for 1 minute over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook 2 minutes, stirring gently, until soft curds form.
6
Plate
Slide the eggs onto a plate. Scatter the crumbled cotija cheese and cilantro over the top and serve immediately while warm.
