I love chile rellenos so this is a healthier baked version. It can be either be a main entree or a fabulous side. Serve with Spanish rice, guacamole, and tortillas.
Ingredients
- 8 large poblano peppers
- 4 extra large eggs
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- ½ (8 ounce) jar salsa
- 1/8 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut poblano peppers in half and tear off stems and veins; discard seeds.
Step 2
Roast peppers on the preheated grill, turning often, until soft and charred, about 5 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Wipe off or peel skins and discard.
Step 3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 4
Beat eggs, flour, and salt together vigorously in a medium mixing bowl. Flour may still be a bit clumpy but it will eventually dissolve during cooking process. Add milk and beat again.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil in a 9×13-inch baking dish then place poblanos in, cut sides-up. Fill poblanos evenly with cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until egg mixture is slightly firm, about 22 minutes.
Step 7
Mix tomato sauce and salsa together in a bowl. Pour on top of egg mixture; add Cheddar cheese on top. Turn the oven's broiler on.
Step 8
Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
You can roast the poblano peppers a few days in advance if you like. Instead of grilling, you can roast over a gas burner. Grilling is easier but with roasting over a gas burner, you can clean off more of the outer skin. To roast over a burner: roast dry over the burner set to medium-high heat until completely charred, turning as needed. Afterwards, place in a plastic bag to sweat for 10 to 20 minutes. To clean: wipe skin off over a trash can or over the sink. After cleaning them, cut in halves and remove seeds.
