Chile Rellenos Soufflé

10 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 Poblano (sometimes labeled Pasilla) peppers
  • 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, divided
  • 3 eggs, egg whites and yolks separated into two bowls
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • Dash of salt
  • Paprika
  • 1 to 2 cups chile con carne or enchilada sauce, of choice, for topping

Directions

  1. 1
    Broil the peppers in the oven until they are blackened, turning often, about 10-15 minutes. Place them immediately in a tightly sealed paper bag for 20 minutes.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, begin to prepare chile con carne sauce or enchilada sauce of your preference.
  3. 3
    Peel the skin off the peppers, and cut a slit in them and remove seeds and rinse. Place them in a lightly oil-sprayed casserole dish, and stuff with shredded cheese.
  4. 4
    Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and water into the bowl with the egg yolks.
  5. 5
    With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in the other bowl until foamy. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and beat until stiff, but not dry. Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites gently, until no more white is visible.
  6. 6
    Pour the batter evenly over the peppers and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 325 degrees, until puffed and lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve with chile con carne or enchilada sauce, cilantro or sour cream, or any other garnishes you prefer, such as sliced avocado.
