    • 1\/4 tsp salt<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup flour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For Frying:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Vegetable oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Optional for Serving:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Tomato sauce or salsa<\/li>\n
        • Fresh cilantro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          1. Roast the Poblanos<\/strong><\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. Place the poblano chiles directly over a gas flame, under a broiler, or on a hot skillet.<\/li>\n
          2. Turn occasionally until the skin is blackened and blistered all over (about 8\u201310 minutes).<\/li>\n
          3. Place the roasted chiles in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel to steam for 10\u201315 minutes.<\/li>\n
          4. Peel off the charred skin carefully. Do not<\/strong> rinse with water to preserve flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            2. Prepare the Chiles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
              \n
            1. Make a small slit down the side of each chile and carefully remove the seeds and membranes.<\/li>\n
            2. Stuff each chile with pieces of cheese. Avoid overfilling to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking.<\/li>\n
            3. Gently press the slit closed. Use a toothpick if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              3. Prepare the Batter (Optional)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \n
              1. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.<\/li>\n
              2. Lightly beat the yolks in a separate bowl.<\/li>\n
              3. Gently fold the yolks into the whipped whites. Add a pinch of salt.<\/li>\n
              4. Spread the flour on a plate and lightly dredge each stuffed chile in flour before dipping into the egg batter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                4. Fry the Chiles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                  \n
                1. Heat 1\/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/li>\n
                2. Dip each stuffed chile into the egg batter (if using) and carefully place in hot oil.<\/li>\n
                3. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3\u20134 minutes per side.<\/li>\n
                4. Remove and drain on paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  5. Serve<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                    \n
                  • Serve hot, optionally topped with tomato sauce or salsa.<\/li>\n
                  • Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • For a lighter version, skip the batter and roast the chiles with cheese, then bake until the cheese melts.<\/li>\n
                    • Use a cheese that melts well but doesn\u2019t become too runny, like Oaxaca or Monterey Jack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
