Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Poblano pepper
1 large egg
2 tsp vegetable or canola oil
2 slices white or sourdough bread
3 oz Wisconsin Monterey Jack cheese ((3/4 cup))
1 Tbsp butter (, softened)
1 Roma tomato (, seeded and diced)
2 Tbsp finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 clove garlic (, finely minced)
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 squeeze fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack two levels below broiler element and heat oven to broil. Line a baking dish with foil and set Poblano pepper on foil. Transfer to oven and broil pepper, rotating frequently, until skin has blistered and charred, about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Transfer pepper to an airtight bag, seal bag and allow to rest 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Remove from bag and peel pepper, cut off top, make one slice down length of pepper. Remove and discard seeds and ribs. Pat inside of pepper dry with a paper towel, set aside.
  • Heat 2 tsp oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet slightly over medium heat. Whisk egg vigorously in a small bowl until frothy, 1 minute. Once oil is hot, carefully pour egg into pan.
  • Cook egg until golden, about 10 seconds, then using a spatula, fold egg into a half (as if you were making an omelet). Continue to cook just until nearly cooked through, about 10 seconds longer per side then transfer to paper towels to drain, set aside.
  • To assemble sandwich, brush 1/2 tbsp butter on outsides of bread. Layer egg on bread, followed by roasted Poblano pepper, grated Wisconsin Monterey Jack cheese and sprinkle top with half of the pico de gallo (reserve remaining pico de gallo for another use).
  • Using paper towels, wipe oil from skillet. Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Carefully transfer assembled sandwich to skillet.
  • Cook until bottom is golden about 4 - 6 minutes, then rotate sandwich to opposite side, cover skillet with lid and cook opposite side until golden brown and cheese has melted through, about 4 - 6 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • FOR THE PICO DE GALLO: Combine diced tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro and lime juice in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Poblano peppers are the traditional choice for chile rellenos, but you can also use Anaheim or bell peppers. Look for peppers that are large and firm, with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers is essential to getting that smoky, charred flavor. You can roast them over an open flame, on a grill, or in the oven. Just be sure to roast them until the skin is blackened and blistered.
  • Remove the seeds and veins: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before removing the seeds and veins. Be careful not to tear the flesh of the peppers.
  • Stuff the peppers: You can stuff the peppers with a variety of fillings, such as cheese, beans, rice, or meat. Be sure to pack the filling tightly so that the peppers don't fall apart.
  • Dip the peppers in egg batter: Before frying the peppers, dip them in an egg batter. This will help to seal in the filling and give the peppers a golden brown color.
  • Fry the peppers: Fry the peppers in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the peppers will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the peppers: Serve the peppers immediately, topped with your favorite sauce. You can also add a side of rice, beans, or salad.

Conclusion:

Chile rellenos sandwiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a chile relleno sandwich that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give chile rellenos sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed.
