It's green chile time

Things that smell yummy.....coffee...baking bread....and green chile roastin'! Here's a simple recipe that's delicious:
Baked Chiles Rellenos
6 eggs separated
1tbsp.  of flour
1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp pepper
 roasted, peeled, seeded Hatch green chile
1/2 lb. of cheese, cheddar or jack, sliced
Beat egg whites until stiff. Mix flour, salt, and pepper with egg yolks; then fold in beaten egg whites and pour half of this mixture into a greased 2x9x13 baking dish. Next slit each chile lengthwise down one side and lay flat over egg batter and then cover with cheese slices.  Pour rest of egg mixture over cheese.Bake 25 min. in a 325 oven. Cut in 3-inch squares and serve with salsa if desired. Serves 4.

We put 20 pounds in the freezer this weekend.

Enjoy!
