Thank you for this! 

[quotidianlight]

@snuzzlly No problem, one of my favorite recipes for sure.



[babette65]

thank you for the great recipe, information, and beautiful presentation. i am going to make this delicious meal tonight night for supper. wonderful!

[quotidianlight]

@babette65 So how'd they come out?

[bowulf]

Very nice... I like the measuring and knowing the precise amounts (not eyeballing it). Have you ever tried folding grated Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture? Just curious...

[quotidianlight]

I think it would be too much for the chili's (disclaimer: I am a sucker for traditional chili rellenos) but as a batter for other veggies like zuchini it sounds great. Might have to be careful of scorching but I'll try it sometime and see how it works.

What a super video. I am going to try this with monteray jack and some lime juice!

[jmissliz1]

I am hispanic and I live on the border. I was looking at some low carb homemade videos on chili rellenos. You have a really good one. Almost like my grandma's. Except for the enchilada sauce, sour cream, and salsa. But who cares if it tastes good. Some people use a thin tomatoe sauce. In my family we don't. Your chiles look beautiful. Good Job. : )

By the way, the pronunciation of chili rellenos also needs practice...
