Lazy Chili Rellenos
Description
This Lazy Chili Rellenos recipe offers a simpler, oven-baked twist on the classic Mexican dish. Instead of frying each pepper individually, whole green chiles are stuffed with generous strips of sharp cheddar cheese and nestled in a shallow dish. They are then bathed in a savory mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and salt, creating a custard-like coating that bakes up golden and tender. The result is a comforting, family-friendly meal that captures the rich, spicy flavor of traditional rellenos with significantly less effort. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, this dish brings home-style satisfaction to your table. The combination of smoky roasted peppers, melted cheese, and fluffy egg custard makes it a hearty and satisfying main course that pairs beautifully with rice or beans.Ingredients
