Main Ingredients
- 4 Poblano Peppers
- 1 cup Cheese (Monterey Jack or Queso Fresco) shredded
- 3 Eggs separated
- ½ cup Flour
- 1 cup Oil for frying
Roast the poblano peppers until the skin is charred. Place them in a plastic bag to steam for 10 minutes, then peel off the skin.
Make a slit in each pepper and remove the seeds. Stuff each pepper with cheese.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the yolks and fold them into the whites.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Roll each stuffed pepper in flour, then dip in the egg mixture. Fry until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
