Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9"x13" baking pan with cooking spray.
- Stuff each chile with a stick of cheese and place the chiles in a single layer in the pan.
- Place the eggs, milk, flour and baking powder in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the egg batter over the chiles and sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until light golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with additional toppings if desired.
Notes
- It’s best to use freshly shredded cheddar cheese in this casserole. The bags of pre-shredded cheese from the store often contain preservatives and anti caking agents and do not melt well.
- Leftover chile relleno casserole will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Canned chilies typically come with most of the seeds removed. It’s always best to take a quick peek in the chile before you stuff it to remove any stray seeds that might be left behind.
