About 1/8 tsp pepper
6 oz bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
Crisp chile rings & oil (recipe follows; optional)
About 1/2 tsp salt
12 large eggs
6 fresh poblano chiles (4 to 5 oz. each; see notes)
4 tomatoes (6 oz. each), rinsed, cored, & sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 c shredded jack cheese (6 oz.)
1/3 c thinly sliced chives or green onions

Directions

Step #1 Rinse fresh chiles & pat dry.
Step #2 Place in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan & broil 2 to 3 inches from heat, turning chiles as needed, until blackened & blistered all over, 10 to 15 mins.
Step #3 Let chiles cool about 15 mins.
Step #4 Peel off as much of the skin as comes off readily.
Step #5 Cut a slit down one side of each chile; remove & discard seeds, leaving stems attached.
Step #6 In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, stir bacon until browned & crisp, about 5 mins.
Step #7 Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
Step #8 Pour fat from pan into a bowl.
Step #9 Wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
Step #10 In a bowl, 1/2 tsp salt, whisk eggs to mix with 1/3 c water, & 1/8 tsp pepper.
Step #11 Set frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step #12 Add 2 tbsps reserved bacon fat; reserve remaining for another use or discard.
Step #13 When fat begins to sizzle, tilt pan to coat bottom.
Step #14 Add egg mixture & sprinkle with 1 c cheese, chives, & the bacon.
Step #15 When a thin layer of egg is set on pan bottom, in about 30 seconds, push cooked egg toward one side of pan with a wide spatula, letting uncooked egg flow underneath.
Step #16 Continue cooking & pushing until eggs are softly set but still moist, 3 to 4 mins total.
Step #17 Stir to turn eggs over.
Step #18 Remove from heat.
Step #19 Arrange chiles, slit side up, in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
Step #20 Fill evenly with egg mixture.
Step #21 Sprinkle top eggs with remaining 1/2 c cheese.
Step #22 Bake in a 400° oven until cheese is melted, about 3 mins.
Step #23 Meanwhile, arrange tomato slices on plates.
Step #24 With a wide spatula, set chiles on tomatoes.
Step #25 Sprinkle top with cilantro & crisp chile rings, if using; drizzle with chili oil to taste.
Step #26 Add salt & pepper to taste.
Step #27 Crisp chile rings & oil.
Step #28 With a damp towel, wipe 1 dried guajillo or New Mexico chile (about oz.
Step #29 ) to clean.
Step #30 With scissors, cut off stem; shake out as many seeds as possible.
Step #31 Cut chile crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rings; drop into an 8- to 10-inch frying pan.
Step #32 Add 2 tbsps olive or vegetable oil & stir over med-heat/flame until chile rings are crisp & beginning to brown, 2 to 4 mins; take care not to scorch.
