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.

SENOR PICO'S BAKED CHILE RELLENOS
From the Senior Pico restaurant in Los Angeles. These rellenos BAKE instead of fry, and are super! The fresh peppers are worth the extra effort, but canned are acceptable. See the database for Senor's Pico's Picante Sauce. The prep time is figured for canned chiles.

Tips:
- To select the best poblano peppers for Chiles Rellenos, look for ones that are dark green, firm, and have no blemishes. - Before roasting the poblano peppers, make sure to prick them with a fork or knife to prevent them from bursting. - Once the poblano peppers are roasted, immediately place them in a paper bag or plastic bag to steam and soften. This will make it easier to peel off the skin. - To make the filling for the Chiles Rellenos, use a combination of cooked ground beef or turkey, rice, beans, corn, and spices. You can also add cheese or chopped vegetables to the filling. - When stuffing the poblano peppers, be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they may burst open during baking. - To prevent the Chiles Rellenos from drying out, brush them with a mixture of melted butter and chicken broth before baking. - Serve the Chiles Rellenos immediately with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese.Conclusion:
