How To Make Chiles Rellenos

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound Monterey Jack Cheese
• 6 poblano or Anaheim chiles, roasted and peeled (Olive Oil)
• 8 large eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking directions

1. First we are going to cook the chiles
2. Preheat the oven to 500F and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Coat the chile peppers lightly with oil.  Roast on the baking sheet in the oven.  As the peppers develop charred spots, turn them over using a pair of long tongs.
4. Continue roasting until the peppers are charred all over, about 15 minutes in the oven.
5. Wrap the peppers in the foil used to cover the baking sheet.  Allow to steam and cool for 10-15 minutes.  Remove the stems and seeds and pull off the thin skins.
6. Now we are going to cook the Chiles Rellenos
7. Preheat the oven to 400F
8. Butter an 8-9 inch square baking dish
9. Cut the cheese into strips 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long.  Cut each chile lengthwise into 3 strips.  Wrap a chile strip around each piece of cheese and set aside.
10. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, and set aside.  Without washing the beaters, beat the yolks in a small bowl until creamy, and beat in the flour and salt.  Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
11. Spread half of half egg mixture in the bottom of the casserole.  Top with the chile-wrapped cheese.  Cover with the remaining egg mixture.
12. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffy and golden.
