Chile Rellanos

I find this baked cheese chile rellano recipe works better with Anaheim peppers, but you can make this into chile poblano rellenos as well. These baked stuffed peppers are coated in egg and breadcrumbs to give it crispiness.

9 x 13 baking sheet
tin foil
shallow bowls
metal spoon
pairing knife
ziplock bag

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 Anaheim or Poblano peppers
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Line baking sheet with foil. Place peppers on pan and broil for 3-4 minutes each side to char the skin. Once they are black and charred, place peppers in a sealed ziplock bag to steam for 5 minutes.
  • Remove peppers from plastic bag and place on a plate to cool down until cool enough to handle. I find that letting them cool for a bit before working with them results in less tears to the pepper.
  • In the meantime, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, and mozzarella cheese in a small bowl. In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs. In an additional bowl, crack, and beat the eggs.
  • Once the peppers have cooled down some, begin peeling off the blackened skin with your fingers. Cut the stem of the pepper off and try to dig out some of the seeds with your fingers out of the top.
  • Using a spoon or your fingers, begin to stuff the pepper with the cheese mixture at the top opening. Squeeze the mixture down to the bottom with your fingers until it is full of cheese. Be careful not to tear the pepper as they are fragile.
  • Roll the stuffed pepper in the eggs, and then the bread crumbs, and then the eggs, and bread crumbs again. Place in the oven on a sprayed baking sheet at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve the chile rellenos with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
