Healthier Baked Chiles Rellenos image

I love chile rellenos so this is a healthier baked version. It can be either be a main entree or a fabulous side. Serve with Spanish rice, guacamole, and tortillas.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large poblano peppers
4 extra large eggs
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2% milk
1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ (8 ounce) jar salsa
⅛ cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut poblano peppers in half and tear off stems and veins; discard seeds.
  • Roast peppers on the preheated grill, turning often, until soft and charred, about 5 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Wipe off or peel skins and discard.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Beat eggs, flour, and salt together vigorously in a medium mixing bowl. Flour may still be a bit clumpy but it will eventually dissolve during cooking process. Add milk and beat again.
  • Drizzle olive oil in a 9x13-inch baking dish then place poblanos in, cut sides-up. Fill poblanos evenly with cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until egg mixture is slightly firm, about 22 minutes.
  • Mix tomato sauce and salsa together in a bowl. Pour on top of egg mixture; add Cheddar cheese on top. Turn the oven's broiler on.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I made these last night and they were delicious! I used a mix of poblano and Anaheim peppers, and I stuffed them with a mixture of ground beef, rice, beans, and cheese. I also added a little bit of chopped onion and garlic to the filling. The peppers
