received this in an email. Yum! If you use fresh bread, it has an omelet like consistency; if you use stale bread, it yields a more custardy consistency.

Provided by Boo Chef in West Te

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h55m

Yield 1 strata, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large fresh poblano chiles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, minced
1 lb sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 3/4 cups sour cream, plus more for topping if desired (1-pound container)
1/2 cup tomatillo salsa, plus more for topping if desired
1/4 cup minced cilantro
10 large eggs
3 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • If you have a gas stove, lay one poblano at a time over high heat, turning occasionally, until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes. Repeat with each poblano. Alternatively, turn on the oven to high broil. Once heated, place poblanos on the top rack and broil until the skin is black on all sides, about 8 minutes. Place in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until chiles are cool enough to handle, about 10 to 15 minutes. Peel off skins, remove seeds, and cut chiles into large dice.
  • Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, seasoning well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; set aside. In a large bowl, combine bread, poblanos, sour cream, onion, salsa, and cilantro until everything is coated in sour cream. Put mixture into the baking dish and set aside.
  • Whisk eggs with half-and-half in a separate large bowl; season with kosher salt and a good amount of freshly ground black pepper. Pour custard over bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate strata overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350°F Remove strata from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before you plan to bake it. Bake strata until it is puffed, golden brown, and slightly set in the center, about 50 to 55 minutes. Top with salsa and sour cream, as desired. Serve hot.

  • Combine the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the poblanos and bread. Cover and bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Remove the cover, top with 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese and bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until set and cheese is melted.

Provided by Busy Teacher

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 medium poblano peppers
4 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup milk
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package queso fresco
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Roast peppers on the top rack of the preheated oven until the skins are charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Set the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • While peppers are cooling, whisk eggs, flour, milk, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. Slice the queso fresco into eight even rectangles, just shorter than the length of the peppers.
  • Carefully peel off the waxy skin of the cooled peppers. Gently cut a slit down the length of the peppers and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes.
  • Spread about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Wrap each pepper around a queso fresco rectangle. Place each chile/cheese wrap seam-side down in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the egg mixture has risen and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
5 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1 2/3 cups half-and-half cream
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, drained
1/4 cup picante sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Mix grated cheeses and spread evenly in buttered 10 inch pie plate.
  • Beat eggs, add flour slowly, and then beat in half and half.
  • If mixture is lumpy, strain it.
  • Pour egg mixture over cheeses in pie plate.
  • Carefully spoon chiles over the surface, then spoon picante sauce over all.
  • Bake about 45 minutes or until center is set.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Poblano chiles are the traditional choice for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim or pasilla chiles. Look for chiles that are large, firm, and have a deep, rich color.
  • Roast the chiles properly: Roasting the chiles is an essential step that brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. You can roast the chiles over an open flame, under a broiler, or in a hot oven.
  • Peel the chiles carefully: Once the chiles are roasted, you need to peel them carefully to remove the charred skin. Use a sharp knife to make a slit down the center of each chile and then gently peel away the skin.
  • Stuff the chiles with a flavorful filling: The filling for chile rellenos can be made with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, beans, rice, and meat. Get creative and experiment with different fillings to find your favorite.
  • Dip the chiles in egg batter and fry them: Once the chiles are stuffed, they are dipped in egg batter and fried until golden brown. This creates a crispy outer shell that contrasts with the soft and flavorful filling.
  • Serve the chile rellenos with a delicious sauce: Chile rellenos are traditionally served with a tomato-based sauce, but you can also use a green sauce or a mole sauce. The sauce adds flavor and moisture to the dish.

Conclusion:

Chile rellenos is a classic Mexican dish that is both delicious and versatile. With a little planning and effort, you can make this dish at home and enjoy it with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chile rellenos a try. You won't be disappointed.
