🧂 Ingredients

(Serves 4–6)

  • 6 large poblano peppers

  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or pepper jack for spice)

  • 4 large eggs, separated

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce or tomato sauce

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp pepper

  • Optional: fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado for serving

🍴 Instructions

1. Roast the Peppers:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until skins are blistered.
Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off skins and carefully cut a slit down one side to remove seeds.

2. Prepare the Batter:
Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in yolks, flour, salt, and pepper.

3. Stuff and Assemble:
Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Arrange in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour egg mixture evenly over the top.

4. Bake:
Reduce oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes, until puffed and golden.

5. Add Sauce:
Warm enchilada sauce in a small saucepan. Pour over baked peppers and bake an additional 5–10 minutes.

6. Serve:
Top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices. Serve with rice or beans for a complete meal.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Add cooked ground beef, chorizo, or shredded chicken for a heartier version.

  • Want it spicier? Mix some chopped jalapeños into the cheese!

  • Great for meal prep — reheat beautifully the next day.
