25 minutes

Stuffed chili peppers are a true embodiment of Mexican cuisine, combining spiciness, rich cheese flavor, and delicate texture. This recipe originates from traditional Mexican dishes where fresh peppers are filled with aromatic fillings and undergo thermal processing to reveal all flavor nuances. Baked and peeled peppers soaked in roasted aroma are filled with gooey cheddar cheese that melts and absorbs the heat. The egg batter adds airiness and a slight crunch to the dish, making it a perfect complement to fresh salsa or sour cream sauce. This is not just an appetizer but a culinary masterpiece conveying the passion and temperament of Mexican cuisine.
