How to Make Chiles Rellenos Sandwiches

  1. Mash 2-3 roasted poblano chiles (or your preferred chili) with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Spread the mashed chiles evenly over 3 slices of vienna bread.
  3. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your favorite melting cheese).
  4. Cover with the remaining 3 slices of vienna bread to create sandwiches.
  5. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk. (Optional: Add 1/2 teaspoon chili powder for extra spice.)
  6. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  7. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
