1

Roast the poblano peppers on the grill until blistered, rotating them to ensure even cooking.

Make a small incision in the top half of each pepper to remove the seeds, being careful not to tear the pepper.

5

Stuff the peppers with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, being cautious not to overfill to prevent tearing.

6

Dredge the stuffed peppers in flour to help the batter stick.

7

Prepare a batter by whisking egg whites until fluffy and at the right consistency for coating.

8

Dip the floured stuffed peppers into the egg white batter, ensuring they are well coated.

9

Carefully drop the battered peppers into a fryer and cook until golden brown.
