Prepare the Peppers

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and cumin. Pour the egg mixture over the layered peppers and cheese.
  3. Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Serve
  1. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa.
