CHILI RELLENO CASSEROLE
Several friends and I were joking about "'70's Food" earlier today, which made me a little nostalgic. Here's one of my old (OLD) stand-by favorites from that era. Alas, no "Cream-of-Anything" soup included, nor aspic'ed mystery substances, and not a fondue pot in sight. Nothing authentically culturally correct...just simple, good ol' '70's fare. Nothing fancy. *Dead easy* to make. It's simply 'got a good beat, and I can dance to it.'

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a 9 x 9 casserole dish with non-stick vegetable spray (Pam) - especially the SIDES and top edges. If using whole chilies, split them open. Either way, cover the bottom of the dish with chilies.
- In a bowl, toss together the grated cheeses, tomato, olives, onions, and 3/4 of the cilantro. Place in the casserole dish, over the chilies. Drizzle about 1/3 of the can of enchilada sauce over this.
- Separate eggs yolks from whites. Beat the egg whites until very frothy, but.
- not too stiff and meringue-like. In a separate bowl, combine yolks, milk, flour, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Fold egg whites into the yolk mixture, and pour this combination onto the casserole.
- Drizzle with remaining enchilada sauce. Bake 20 minutes. Top with Parmesan. Bake another 15-20 minutes, until top is golden-brown-and-delicious. Cool for 10+ minutes before serving. Top with dollops of sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro.

Tips:
- When making this recipe, use a variety of fresh, vibrant ingredients like ripe poblano peppers, juicy corn kernels, creamy sour cream, gooey cheese, and aromatic cilantro. These will create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds.
- Preparing the poblano peppers is crucial. Roast them until their skin is blistered and charred—this adds a smoky, delectable flavor. Additionally, carefully remove the seeds and veins to reduce spiciness and make them more palatable especially if you have a sensitive palate.
- Creating a flavorful sauce is essential. Make sure to sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and translucent, as this will provide a solid foundation for your sauce. Use a combination of diced tomatoes with their flavorful juices, tangy green chilies for a hint of heat, and rich chicken broth for depth. Season generously with chili powder, cumin, and oregano for a warm, inviting aroma and irresistible taste.
- For a creamy, luscious filling, it's important to use a combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and queso fresco. The cream cheese and sour cream provide a velvety texture, while the queso fresco adds a tangy, salty kick. Mash them together until smooth and creamy, then stuff the roasted poblano peppers with this delectable mixture.
- Baking the casserole is the final, crucial step. Pour the flavorful enchilada sauce over the stuffed poblano peppers, ensuring they are evenly coated. Top with a generous amount of shredded Mexican cheese blend for a golden, bubbly finish when baked. Keep an eye on the casserole as it bakes to prevent overcooking, and serve it while it's hot and sizzling with your favorite toppings for a truly special culinary experience.
