GREEN CHILE-CHEESE PUFF ADAPTED FROM THE GOURMET COOKBOOK



Green Chile-Cheese Puff Adapted from The Gourmet Cookbook image

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pounds 4 green chiles (about 3/4 lbs.)
1/4 cup light whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 farm fresh eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup grated cheese (mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar or just Cheddar.)

Steps:

  • Wash and dry green chiles. Place under a pre-heated broiler about 2 inches from the element. Watch carefully. Turn frequently until all sides are charred and beginning to blister, about 5 minutes. Transfer the roasted chiles to a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let them steam until cool enough to handle. Peel, cut off the stems and remove and discard seeds. Chop roughly into about 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Oil a large pie plate. (The original recipe called for a 9-inch dish. Mine overflowed so I used a 12-inch stoneware pan.)
  • In a small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs with the whisk attachment at high speed until doubled (about 3 minutes). (If using a hand mixer, this will take about 12 minutes.)
  • Add cooled butter, cottage cheese and grated cheese. Beat well.
  • Stir in chiles. Pour into oiled pie plate.
  • Bake until top is puffed and golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Fresh is Best: For the best flavor, use fresh green chiles. If fresh chiles are unavailable, you can use frozen or canned chiles.
  • Roast Your Chiles: Roasting the green chiles enhances their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Remove the Seeds: To reduce the heat level of the chiles, remove the seeds before using them.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor makes quick work of chopping the chiles and other ingredients.
  • Season to Taste: Taste the filling before baking the puffs and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The puffs are done baking when they are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Serve Warm: Green chile puffs are best served warm, right out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Green chile puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover green chiles. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these tasty treats that are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give green chile puffs a try. You won't be disappointed!
