Chiles Rellenos

★★★★½ (4.6)

Whole poblano peppers stuffed with melty cheese, wrapped in a fluffy egg batter, and fried until golden, then bathed in a light tomato sauce - a classic that looks impressive but is very doable at home.

4 Servings
  • Light, airy egg batter puffs up around the pepper for a classic golden crust
  • Simple tomato sauce lets the smoky poblano and melted cheese shine
  • Impressive dinner-party dish that is really just charring, stuffing, and frying
  • 4 large poblano peppers
  • 8 oz Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, cut into thick sticks
  • +9 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Place the poblano peppers directly on a gas burner flame or under a broiler set to high. Char them, turning every 1 to 2 minutes with tongs, until the skin is blackened and blistered all over, about 8 minutes total.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
