Directions

  1. Broil the poblano peppers on the top oven rack until blackended on all sides.
  2. Place the peppers in a plastic bag and let them sweat for 10-15 minutes before peeling the skins.
  3. Make a small cut along the length of the pepper and scoop out the seeds.
  4. Fill the peppers with some of the picadillo and seal the peppers back up with toothpicks.
  5. Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and then beat in the flour followed by the egg yolks one at a time.
  6. Dredge the peppers in the flour and then dip them in the egg white batter.
  7. Fry the peppers in oil heated to 350F until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Place the chiles rellenos in a baking dish, pour the ranchero sauce over them and sprinkle with cheese.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese has melted and the sides are bubbling, about 15-20 minutes.
  10. Serve garnished with cilantro.
