INGREDIENTS

  • Egg Mixture

    • 🥚 4 egg whites
    • 🥛 1 cup evaporated milk
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

  • Casserole Layers

    • 1 pound Oaxaca cheese, shredded
    • 27 ounces canned Hatch chile peppers, sliced open

  • Ranchero Sauce

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 🧅 1 medium white onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 3 tablespoons New Mexico chile powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon cumin
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2

Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold in evaporated milk, flour, and salt. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with half the egg white mixture.

3

Layer sliced Hatch chiles flat over the egg white mixture. Sprinkle Oaxaca cheese on top, followed by another layer of chiles and the rest of the egg white mixture.

4

Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set, approximately 30 minutes.

5

While casserole bakes, prepare the sauce. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add chile powder, salt, and cumin and cook for 1 minute.

6

Add sliced bell peppers and cook until soft, about 3–5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes.

7

Slowly add chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until casserole is ready.

8

Serve the ranchero sauce alongside slices of the chile relleno casserole.
