This light and fluffy poblano corn casserole has sweet corn and mildly spicy pepper in every bite.

Self-rising cornmeal gives it texture and lift, while the cheese and cream cheese make it rich and creamy.

Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese.

Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs, green chiles, milk, cornmeal and salt together in a large bowl.

Reserve 1/3 cup cheese and add the remainder to the egg mixture.

Add the corn mixture; stir well to combine.

Spoon into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the top with the reserved cheese.

Bake until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
