Baked Chile Relleno


 I've been on a roasted pepper kick lately and have been craving chile rellenos for quite a while. Growing up, my mom stuffed them with queso freso, dipped them in whipped egg whites and pan fried them until crispy and then served them with a potato pancake (similar to latkes) in a spicy broth. I made mine a little differently by using a colorful stuffing and skipping the egg whites and baking the pepper instead of frying. It's slightly healthier (you could always omit the cheese and make it a lot healthier) and not as heavy but still incredibly delicious.
