I'd deal with my inevitable heartburn attack just to dig into one of those Chile Rellenos.

So, is the batter recipe a secret? Most authentic Chile Rellenos I have seen! I've heard it uses egg whites?

My 2nd favorite Mexican food next to good enchiladas.

Thanks everybody! You're a kind group of friends! :grin:

Awesome cook Jeanie and beautiful plated pic!!

Sweet Laguiole too, always wanted one just never have got one.

Thanks Jeremy! You need to get a set. They're pretty sturdy. :grin:

I love your posts, Jeanie. They always remind me that there's a level of perfection I can keep working toward.

Very kind of you Jeremy! Thanks so much! :grin:

Goodness gracious, that looks incredible. It has been SO long since I've had a good chile relleno. Last time I tried was when I was on vacation in South Texas and the restaurant served me an obviously pre-frozen one. :sad::-o Seeing these pictures of elite-level rellenos makes that experience all the more painful by comparison.

Oh heck, I've had those frozen rellenos too. lol Pretty tasteless! :grin:
Thanks C-man, hope you give em a try sometime. They're really tasty with smoked meats and cheese!

I'd have a hard time giving up my camping, fishing, relaxing time. lol

Not a secret at all. :grin: Just trying to cut down on pictures. lol
I use one egg for each rellenos. I beat the whites to stiff peaks. Add one tablespoon of flour for each egg used. Add a couple pinches of salt. Then beat the yolks with a fork and "fold" them into the whites to keep the batter light and fluffy.
For this batch, I used 8 eggs.

Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks..

After beating the whites, I fold the flour and salt in...
then fold the yolks in last..

Ready for dipping and frying.

I also coat the stuffed chiles with flour before dipping. It helps the batter adhere.

Thanks! Hope you have great luck with it! :-D

Thanks so much Dom! I hope you try them sometime! The usual filling is cheese, but I like the addition of meats. :grin:

Definitely not too many pics Jeanie, I'm also a proponent of cooking up a bunch of thighs or pork or what ever just to ensure there is always smoked Que available for a meal. Your pizza and rellenos look amazingly delicious, keep those pictures coming.
