INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the broiler. Arrange the Poblano chiles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil until charred on all sides. Wrap in a plastic bag and cool. Peel the skins from the chiles, and carefully make a slit in one side of each chile. Remove and discard the seeds, rinse the chiles, and pat dry. Combine the two cheeses, corn, basil and oregano in a medium bowl. Season this filling with pepper. Gently stuff each chile with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling, depending on the size of the chile. Pour corn oil to a depth of 1" in a very large, heavy saucepan or deep skillet. Heat the oven to 350F. Beat the egg yolks in a medium sized bowl until slightly thickened. Use clean, dry beaters to beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold the egg yolks along with the flour, baking soda, and salt into tht egg whites. Place additional flour in a flat dish. Roll each chile in flour to coat. Working in batches, dip each chile into the batter. Fry until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side.) Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon. Place 1/4 cup of the red chile sauce on each serving plate, and top the sauce with 2 chiles rellenos. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Serve hot!
