Cheesy Chili Rellenos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 canned whole mild green chiles
6 (3 x 1/2 x 1/2-inch) strips Monterey Jack cheese
3 eggs, separated
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. salt
all-purpose flour
canola oil

Preparation

Rinse chiles; remove seeds and pat dry.
Stuff chiles with strips of cheese.
(If chiles tear, overlap torn sides; batter will hold them together.)
Beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale yellow (about 3 to 5 minutes).
Add 3 tablespoons flour, water and salt; mix well.
Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into yolk mixture.
Dredge stuffed chiles in flour, coating well.
Dip chiles in egg mixture.
Brown chiles on both sides in 1/2 inch of oil at 370\u00b0 for 3 to 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.
