Chiles Rellenos
Source of Recipe
Twinkee the kid from Old Pal's Place
List of Ingredients
8 ounce Whole green (mild) chiles, canned
1/4 pound Sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 pound Monterey jack cheese
3 Eggs, separated
Flour
Oil for frying
Salsa
Recipe
Make a slit down one side of the chiles. Gently remove any
seeds. Cut the cheese into strips that will fit inside the
chiles. Fill the chiles with a strip of each type of
cheese. Close the chile, gently roll in flour and set
aside. In a heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil to 375.
Beat the egg whites until foamy. In a separate bowl, blend
the yolks with 1 Tablespoon of water and 3 tablespoons of
flour. Fold this mixture into the egg whites. Carefully dip
each chile into the batter. Gently place them in the hot
oil. Cook about 2 minutes on each side. Drain briefly on
paper towels. Repeat for all chiles. Serve warm, topped
with room-temperature salsa.
