Chili rellenos is one of my favorite meals. I love them so, but didn't want to fry them on the stove in my hot kitchen so I devised this oven version.
Baked chili rellenos
8 eggs separated
4 pasilla chilies flamed and seeded
6 jalapenos flamed and seeded
cheese for filling (I used colby jack but many others would work)
pinch of xanthan gum
pinch of salt
Beat with a hand mixer egg whites to soft peaks then in another bowl beat egg yolks with salt and xanthan gum till fluffy and light in color and doubled it volume. Fold half of yolk mixture in white mixture then the rest carefully as to not deflate mixture. Spoon 1/3 of mixture in a greased 9 by 13 baking dish then arrange cheese filled chilies on top of it, add the rest of the egg mixture. Bake in a 350 oven for half an hour until browned and the egg mixture is cooked through. I serve it with this fresh salsa here.
