Chili Relleno Souffle
Print Recipe

This cheesy, melty, savory souffle is perfect for any taste buds, kids and adults alike. While the prep can take some time I promise it is all worth it. This dish is great for a family night with a side or beans and spanish rice

Ingredients

Scale

1lb block Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1lb block Monterey Jack Cheese

2 cans of 27oz Whole Green Chiles

3 whole Eggs

2 tbsp All Purpose Flour

5 oz or 2/3 cup Evaporated Milk

15 oz (1 can) Tomato Sauce

Instructions

  1. To prep the peppers, lay out some paper towels or a clean (non-fuzzy) kitchen towel. Under a running sink slice down the side of the pepper to open it and give it a quick rinse to get rid of the seeds then lay flat to dry.
  2. Slice cheese into 1-inch squares about 1/4-inch thick. Each block should make about 50 squares. Do your best to make them all around the same size. Then set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
  4. Now it’s time to construct our dish! First, 1 layer of peppers laying flat followed by a checkerboard of the 2 cheese flavors. Repeat to make 3 layers of each, ending on a top layer of cheese. Set aside.
  5. Souffle topping time!
    • Separate your egg white and egg yolks. Blend your egg whites til you have stiff peaks.
    • Then add the 2 tablespoons of flour and blend. Set aside.
    • To egg yolks, in separate bowl, slowly blend in 1 can of Evaporated milk and beat til lightly fluffy and well mixed.
    • Slowly add egg yolk mixture to egg white mixture until smooth. Do not over mix.
  6. Pour and spread egg mixture on top of pepper and cheese dish, spread to cover whole top.
  7. Slowly pour tomato sauce in circular motion over-top the egg mixture (I like to put mine in a zip-lock and cut a small corner to pour for even circle design)
  8. Bake uncovered for 1 hour (60 mins)
  9. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins to prevent soupy-ness
  10. Enjoy!!

Notes

Pouring the tomatoes..if your don’t want to use a plastic bag you can puncture 1 small hole and 1 slightly larger hole on opposite sides of the top of the can for easy drizzle..otherwise just put into a mixing bowl with an easy pour spout.

The cool time is very important or it will all be soupy and not hold together properly.
