Ingredients

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2 Roast the Anaheim chiles over a grill, open flame, or broiler. Place in a paper or plastic bag for 10 minutes to sweat.
3 Clean the peppers under running cool water to remove the charred skin and seeds. Set aside.
4 In a sauté pan over medium high heat, sauté onion until golden, about 3 minutes.
5 Add garlic, jalapeño, and carrot. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring. Add mushrooms, oregano, and zucchini; cook 2 minutes longer. Place in a separate bowl and set aside.
6 Place the yogurt, egg whites, cumin, and corn in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add the sautéed veggies. Add the blue corn meal, pepper, and cheeses. Mix very well.
7 Lightly spritz a large casserole with cooking spray. Line the bottom with the roasted chiles and pour the veggie/yogurt mixture gently into the casserole, smoothing to even the top.
8 Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a tester inserted near the center comes out almost clean.
9 Uncover and continue to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes to toast the top and casserole is done.
10 Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes before dividing into 8 equal portions.
Additional Information
You can substitute the Anaheim chiles with canned whole Ortega chiles. Serve this dish with tomatillo salsa, a green salsa found in the Mexican foods section of most major supermarkets.
