Step 1
Start by setting your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat and preheating the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil, then place the peppers cut-side down on it. Pop them under the broiler until their skins are blackened and blistered, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes. Once done, put the peppers in a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap so they can steam and cool for about 15 minutes.

Step 2
While the peppers are steaming, go ahead and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and arrange the bread slices in a single layer on the bottom.

Step 3
Next, cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, about 3 minutes, then transfer it to a bowl. In the same pan, add a bit of oil and sauté the onion until it’s soft, which should take another 3 minutes. Peel the peppers, slice the flesh, and toss it in with the onions.

Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Layer the cooked chorizo evenly over the bread, spread the onion and pepper mixture on top, and pour the egg mixture over everything. Finish by sprinkling the cheese blend all over.

Step 5
Bake the casserole in the oven until the eggs are set and the top is just starting to brown, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
