If using fresh Poblano chile, char on all sides directly over the flame,
turning with tongs until chile has blackened. Transfer charred chiles (2 to
3 Poblanos will yield 1/2 cup finished product) to a heat proof bowl, cover
tightly with film, and let cool gradually, enclosed with their own steam.
After about 1/2 hour, peel chiles, discard stem, fiber, and seeds, and
dice. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil spray 8 to 10 1cup ramekins, or 1 14 x 11
inch shallow baking dish. Scatter dish or dishes with crumbs, and sprinkle
crumbs with cheddar.

In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Whisk to
blend. Whisk in diced chiles. Ladle and pour this mixture over the cheesed
bread crumbs in ramekins or pans. Push 1 piece of the Neufchatel into each
ramekin, or at intervals throughout the single pan.

Bake until the eggs are set and slightly puffed, about 30 minutes for large
pan, 20 for ramekins. Do not overbake. Serve with Arkansalsa on the side.
