PLACE poblano peppers over a medium-high flame or a skillet on medium-high setting. TURNING on all sides with tongs to roast evenly. Skin should be blistered and lightly charred. Immediately PLACE roasted peppers in a plastic bag. SEAL bag and steam for 10 minutes.

- REMOVE peppers from bag and RUB off charred skin with fingers or a paper towel. Skin will peel off easily. REMOVE poblano stems and seeds. SLICE open and SCRAPE veins and remaining seeds with a small knife. SLICE in large strips. KEEP warm.
- In the meantime, PLACE ground beef in a medium bowl. ADD onion, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. MIX with hands until all ingredients have combined. DIVIDE into 4 patties.
- GRILL or COOK patties in a cast iron skillet on stove top for 3-5 minutes on each side.
- PLACE cooked patties on bottoms of sliced pretzel buns. ADD lettuce, tomato, pepper strips, blue cheese and TOP with fried egg and pretzel bun top.
Tips:
- Add slices of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the egg for a fired-up cheeseburger.
- Make a thumbprint in the middle of the burger before cooking to prevent it from bulging.
- This recipe is an excellent source of protein and choline, and a good source of vitamin A and folate.
