How to Make Chiles Rellenos Puffs

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 24-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a 3-quart saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, and 1 teaspoon salt until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Gradually whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 cup chopped roasted chiles (such as poblanos or Anaheims).
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 25-29 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for 2 minutes.
  10. Carefully remove the puffs from the muffin cups.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
