I’m Mexican and I can tell you, chile rellenos are a lot of work and then they get eaten in less time than it took to make. I applaud the adaptation to the recipe to make it at least a little easier to enjoy the same flavors with at least a little less toil before they are eaten up!

One of the reasons i love chef john is because he makes sure not to waste ingredients. I love that he "washes" out the marinara sauce from the measuring cup with chicken broth to make sure he got it all. One of my pet peeves in cooking shows is that they never use a spatula to get all the ingredient bits from the container.

I grew up in New Mexico where chile rellenos are everywhere. Tomorrow morning, your mighty fine simpler approach with some Hatch heat will hit my plate then my belly. Thanks CJ.

I made the sweet and spicy mustard chicken last night, my Father and Brother loved it . Again thank you so much for these wonderful recipes . Your chef styling keeps us all smiling 🙂

Very good interpretation of chiles rellenos. My filling is cheese, cooked potatos/onions/garlic and maybe hot chiles like serranos. It is alot of work to make them but I have also had success just laying the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pouring whipped eggs over them all and basically making a large frittata or casserole. Its easy to cut and serve and has all the flavor of chiles rellenos without the dipping in batter and frying in oil.

I love it when detailed time cooked foods are deconstructed. This will be a classic in my house. I have an electric stove that I brown many foods directly on the burners. Works wonderfully.

Wow, this looks awesome, I'm excited to try it! I guess I feel like I might try a dollop of sour cream with it. I can imagine all sorts of variations on this, like maybe turn pair it with eggs and treating it like a breakfast item, maybe even adding crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon, or even morphing it into a sort of Mexican Dutch baby ... the possibities are endless!

I'm going to have to try this. And immediately change up everything by mixing the peppers and cheese into the batter, and using masa instead of flour. Because I'm REALLY lazy. :)

being a mexican living in mexico city and having eaten chiles rellenos all my life I find this a very innovative, easier to make and more practical yet delicious way of making this dish. maybe some quesillo or fresher cheese might have been closer to classical ingredients or eaten with tortillas but still quite creative yet classical/traditional. i'll fix myself one of these.

I was having a hard time deciding which of your recipes I wanted to try first and when I saw this one I said, "Heck yeah!" I made this last night and it was PHENOMENAL! Super easy. I did reduce my sauce a bit more so it was thicker and it turned out darker than your sauce but I think it was due to the brand of marinara sauce I used (or maybe the fact I used a little more chili powder 🤷‍♀️). I love your humor and your "don't sweat the small stuff" attitude when it comes to cooking/baking. Your videos have been fun and educational. You, sir, are the Dean of Food Wishes cuisine. 🧐

I have made this recipe twice since I watched your video. This recipe is very easy and tasty. I added some seasonings to the egg yoke the second time and the egg batter was much better with a little salt, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. I also added a little dusting of flour to the eggs as I folded in the yokes. They turned out wonderful. Adding this one to the family cookbook.

Love this recipe. Chef John is the king.

If I could have only one Mexican dish forever, it'd be chili rellenos, so last Summer we planted a dozen plants we started from seed. Couldn't wait to make a huge batch! Evidently, there was a cross pollination from the seed supplier: toasting the peppers (on the grill) and then peeling them, the fiery glow from my hands could've lit up a large city. OMG. Then eating the finished rellenos turned us into fire-breathing dragons. I *love* spicy but these went far beyond any heat I've had before. I gave my son a dozen, and wound up making canned green chilis from the remainder. He's also a hot salsa-type person and told me the heat verged on the thermonuclear - ha! And, yeah, I double-gloved before roasting those remaining peppers. Anyone with suggestions on finding a milder Poblano pepper would be appreciated :-)

I suppose you could do a chile relleno pie with these ingredients as well? Chef John? Mmm!

I saw the title and I was immediately 100% on board

This was so exciting to make pancakes out of the chili relleno...I am definitely going to try this because I don't think I would fail I think it would come out absolutely delicious like yours! Thanks for sharing this marvelous new trick

Chili Relleno is one of my favorite meals. Great recipe variation.

Mom used to oil the peppers before direct heat, the skin will come out more easily and more evenly cooked. 🌶 If you need them less spicy, cut a T with small knife (be aware that you should cut the inner base of the seeds), insert finger and remove all seeds and veins with just one pull and you’re ready to heat’em up Love your vids.♥️

I do this as a sort of frittata with eggs, bread and the chilies and cheese mixed in. For your sauce, I’d recommend adding some crushed chicarrones into the sauce when it begins to simmer. They will be tender morsels of umami making your dish next level!
