Ingredients
- 4 lices 1/2-inch thick bread I used a round of Italian
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 lices cheddar cheese thin
- 4 lices pepper jack cheese thin
- 2 green chiles such as Hatch green chile, poblano or Anaheim, seeded and chopped, roasted and skinned*
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- Dash of Salt
- vegetable oil enough to coat the bottom of a large skillet or frying pan
Instructions
- Start by buttering one side of each piece of bread. These will be the exterior sides of your sandwich, lay them butter side down on a plate or work surface.
- On one half of the bread, lie 2 slices of cheddar cheese, topped with a thick layer of green chiles and finished with 2 slices pepper jack cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter side out. Repeat with remaining sandwich.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place both sandwiches, into pan. Press down with a spatula to flatten the bread and sear the butter against the hot surface. When browned, flip and repeat on other side, pressing until brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Reduce oil heat to low, but don't turn it off.
- Working at a brisk pace (you don't want your oil to burn), place flour in a shallow dish (or plate) and eggs in a shallow bowl whisked with salt.
- Using a fork, carefully dredge both sides of each sandwich in flour and then egg mixture.
- Increase oil heat back to medium-high heat and place egg drenched sandwiches in to hot oil. Cook on either side until browned and egg mixture has cooked.
- Remove, slice and serve. Enjoy your Double Crunch Chile Relleno Monte Cristo Sandwiches!

Notes
- To roast chiles, place on a hot grill in under the broiler until the skin blisters, then place hot, soft chiles into a an airtight bag, close tightly and allow to steam. The skin should easily peel off.If you don't wish to use fresh chiles, you can purchase an 8-ounce can whole or diced green chiles, drained and patted dry and skip this step.
