Incredibly Easy Chile Rellenos

 

 

1 large (27 ounce) can green chile strips

1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, cut in strips

12 eggs

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups milk

 

Wash chiles and remove seeds.  Wrap chile strips around cheese strips.  Place side by side in a shallow, 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  Beat eggs with salt, then add milk and mix well.  Pour over stuffed chiles.  Bake 50 – 60 minutes in a 350 degree oven.  Do not overbake, since it toughens the protein in both eggs and cheese.  Serves 6 – 8.
