Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Poblano peppers
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Bolillo rolls or French bread
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the poblano peppers on the baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, peel off the charred skin from the peppers. Carefully make a slit down one side of each pepper and remove the seeds and membranes, keeping the peppers intact.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses together. Stuff each pepper with a generous amount of the cheese mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with two shallow dishes. In the first dish, beat the eggs. In the second dish, place the flour. Dip each stuffed pepper into the flour to coat, then into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully covered.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the peppers in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Slice the bolillo rolls or French bread in half lengthwise. Lightly toast them in a skillet or toaster if desired.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Place a lettuce leaf, a fried chile relleno, tomato slices, and pickled jalapeños (if using) on top. Cover with the top half of the bread.
Serve warm and enjoy these delicious Chiles Rellenos Sandwiches!
