CHILE RELLENO BREAKFAST
I've been making this for so long I don't remember where the recipe came from. The recipe calls for Monterey Jack Cheese but you can use Pepper Jack, Cheddar or a combination of cheeses. You can also add chopped fresh jalapenos, black olives, hot sauce....what ever suits you. Buen Provecho!

Steps:
- Start by blanching the poblanos. Boil water in a large pot, and then add the peppers for about 10 minutes, until they are soft when pierced with a fork. I like to put the lid on my pot to keep them from floating, but you can also just flip them over half way through.
- Preheat oven to 425º F.
- Remove the chiles from the boiling water, and make a lengthwise slice. Don't cut the pepper in half - you just want to be able to stuff the inside of the pepper. If your chiles are really hot, of you don't want these to be too spicy, you can use a spoon to remove the seeds.
- Make some scrambled eggs, and brown the Jones Dairy Farm Golden Brown Pork Sausage patties. Cut the patties in half and set aside.
- Add the chile relleno sauce to a baking dish, and then add the peppers into the dish. Stuff the peppers with 1/4 of the cheese, 1 scrambled egg, and 1 sausage patty (two 1/2s) each. Top the dish with extra cheese.
- Bake the chile rellenos for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling. If you make your chiles ahead of time and the sauce has cooled or chilled before baking, then cover the dish with foil and cook for 15 minutes, and then remove the foil and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese has begun to bubble and brown.
