ingredients
- 8 fresh green chilies (stems intact, roasted and peeled)
- 1 lb cheddar cheese or 1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 cup oil
- 2 2 cups provolone cheese (or all mixed) or 2 cups monterey jack cheese (or all mixed)
directions
- Stuff each chile with cheese, and set aside.
- Separate eggs and beat the whites until stiff. Beat yolks and fold into whites, along with flour, salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Dip stuffed chiles, one at a time, into egg batter, then remove with a large spoon. Carefully lower coated chiles into hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time. Fry until golden brown on both sides. The chiles may be made ahead to this point.

- May be made in advance up to the point of topping with cheese, and reheated in a 400-degree oven about 10 minutes.
