2 cans (4 oz) whole green chilles
cheddar cheese or american cheese cut into 1 inch strips
cracker crumbs, about 1 cup
1 egg, beaten with small amount of milk
Wash chilles under cold running water and spilt to remove seeds. Put cheese strip inside and fasten with toothpicks. Dip in egg mixture and roll in cracker crumbs. Brwon on all sides in a skillet in oil, reduce heat and cook
until cheese is melted. This does well as a side dish with steak, chops, or Mexican dishes, and also as a meatless dish. It can be held nicely in a warm oven until serving.
