Chiles Rellenos Croque-Madame image

A traditional croque-madame is a heartier version of a croque-monsieur because it's served with an egg on top of the sandwich. Instead of bechamel and Gruyere, this playful version includes pepper jack, chiles and chipotle. -Lauren Wyler, Dripping Springs, Texas

This recipe was a great way to introduce my kids to Mexican food. They loved the chiles rellenos and they even asked for seconds.

These chiles rellenos were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had baked them instead of frying them.

I'm not a fan of bechamel sauce, so I made this recipe without it. The chiles rellenos were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with the sauce.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble the chiles rellenos ahead of time and then bake them when you're ready to eat.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of cheese or pepper that you like. I've even made it with ground beef instead of chicken.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices to the filling.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I really enjoyed these chiles rellenos. They were crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who is looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder pepper.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweet peppers, the savory cheese, and the tangy bechamel sauce all come together to create a truly unique and memorable meal.

This recipe was a great way to use up some leftover chicken. I added some black beans and corn to the filling and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

These chiles rellenos were so easy to make and they tasted amazing! I used poblano peppers instead of Anaheim peppers and they were still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chiles rellenos turned out soggy. I think I might have overcooked them.

The chiles rellenos were good, but the bechamel sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. Next time I'll try using a thinner sauce.
