Make Cheese Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Recently I ate stuffed poblano peppers from a local Mexican restaurant and they were incredible.
This inspired me to recreate the recipe at home.
A poblano pepper is a mild tasting pepper, combined with the cheese stuffing and breadcrumb crust it's very delicious.
Any soft melting cheese can be used. I added the jalapeno because I like a little heat.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

poblano peppers
bread crumbs
queso quesadilla with jalapeno (semi-soft cheese for melting)
2 eggs
cooking oil
frying pan

Step 1

Rinse the poblano pepper under warm water and dry.
Step 2

Place the poblano pepper on a low flame on the gas burner and burn the outside skin. Don't be alarmed if you hear popping from the pepper.
Step 3

Remove the pepper from the burner and with a paper towel rub the burnt skin off. The pepper should be wilted looking, which is o.k.. since the pepper will be stuffed and breaded.
Step 4

Cut an opening on the side of the pepper and scrape out the seeds and membranes. Place a few chunks of cheese in the pepper.
Step 5

Using a toothpick close the opening.
Step 6

Beat the eggs until well blended. Dip the pepper in the eggs and then coat it with the breadcrumbs, repeat to have a thicker crust.
Step 7

Place oil in pan and heat until hot. Place the pepper in the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes, then turn over and cook another 2 minutes.
Step 8

Remove from oil and place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
Ready to serve.
Enjoy.
