Chiles Rellenos
Mexican · Latin America
STOVETOP
8/10
Roasted poblano chiles stuffed with cheese, dipped in fluffy egg batter, and fried until golden.
Why It Works
Separating eggs and whipping whites to stiff peaks creates an impossibly light batter; the molten cheese inside provides richness while the poblano adds earthy smokiness.
Key Ingredients
poblano chiles
