INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 35oF.
Toast chiles over open flame until skins are lightly charred.
Transfer to a paper bag and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove he skin
to just below the stem of each chile. (Alternately, you can broil the
chiles or roast them for 15 - 20 minutes to loosen the skin.)
Make a 2-inch slit in each chile and remove the seeds. Insert one
cheese strip in each chile. Beat the egg white until doubled in
volume. Beat the egg, garlic, oregano, and salt until the mixture
again doubles in volume or reaches soft peaks.
Sprinkle the flour on a plate and dredge the chiles in the flour to
coat all sides.
Lightly spray a saute pan with olive oil spray and place over
medium-high heat. Dip each chile into the egg batter, then place in
the saute pan. Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Lightly
spray a baking pan with oil spray. Transfer the chiles to the baking
pan and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Serve
at once.
