Slit along one side (do not cut in half)and remove the seeds. Rinse under cool water to remove excess skin or seeds. Toss the cheeses together and press into 6 oblong shapes large enough to fit into the chiles. Wrap each chile and the cheese, being careful that the seams are closed. Dredge each stuffed Chile in flour, dusting off any excess. Dip floured Chiles into the beaten eggs. Melt the butter and heat until hot but not browned. Add the chiles one at a time.

Romano or washed and dried feta are good substitutes; or a combination. PANELA -- a mild, milky-tasting, fresh white cheese often sold in rounds also called QUESO FRESCO. Substitute a Ricotta, farmers, or dry cottage cheese. 1-1/2 cups Recipe by: Mary Sue Milliken & Susan Feniger* Posted to MasterCook Digest by kitpath@earthlink.net on Nov 01, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
