Do a small slit on the side of each Poblano pepper
Gotta roast up some poblano peppers to char the outer skin off.
When I get my american cheese, I get a thin cut on them because each cut is HALF an ounce which is a perfect serving inside each pepper. - So, one slice in each pepper, broken down.
Whip up some egg-whites and season with kosher salt and pepper to season.
Dip the stuffed pepper into the egg-wash and right into a hot frying pan with a little olive oil.
The key is to cook the egg all around the pepper. The cheese is going to melt inside nicely!
Serve some homemade salsa verde (or find an all natural product on the market), and melt some cheese on top.
****I will use VERY LIGHTLY, a dusting of whole wheat flour on the stuffed pepper itself so the egg white-wash will stick. Plus it helps to seal the pepper so the cheese doesnt get every where.0 -

Sounds great but they dont sell Poblano chilli peppers in the UK( The shops here sell lots of chillis (finger, birds eye, scotch bonnet, bhut jolokia) but they are all small & hot.
I'm guessing I could use a romano pepper (a long pointed red bell pepper)? And make the filling spicy?

You can use whatever pepper you want.
The nice thing about Poblanos is that when you roast them, they get smoky-sweet once the charred-skin is removed...0 -
