Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a pie dish and set aside.
Roast the jalapeño peppers
Wearing plastic gloves, chop the ends off the jalapeños and cut the peppers length wise; remove seeds.
Toss the jalapeños with a little olive oil (maybe 1-2 tsp) and place on a baking sheet, cut side down.
Bake in preheated oven for about fifteen (15) minutes.
Prepare filling
While the peppers are roasting, shred cheeses.
Rinse and dry the cilantro; rough chop.
Beat together the eggs, salt and pepper and set aside.
When the jalapeños are roasted, remove from oven and reduce temperature to 325°F.
Allow jalapeños to cool slightly. When jalapeños are cool enough to handle, wear plastic gloves and remove the skins; the skin should easily peel off. If not, cover the jalapeños with a kitchen towel, bowl or aluminum foil and let steam for another few minutes, as needed.
Assemble and bake the casserole
Chop the peeled jalapeños; place in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
Add layers in the following order: shredded cheeses, cilantro and egg mixture.
Bake in preheated 325°F oven for about forty (40) minutes.
Serve warm.
