Chiles With Scrambled Eggs, Bacon & Cheese Sauce
- 1 12 cups whole milk
- 1 12 cups chihuahua cheese, coarsely grated, packed (or any mild, white meltable cheese of your liking)
- cayenne, to taste
- 6 large fresh poblano chiles
- 12 ounces bacon, coarsely chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 16 large eggs, beaten in large bowl
- 2 serrano peppers, seeded, de-veined, sliced into very thin strips
- fresh cilantro stem
- tortilla chips
- sliced tomatoes
- fresh salsa (optional)
- Bring the milk to a slow boil in medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Gently boil until reduced to about 1 cup, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes (or a bit longer).
- Whisk in the cheese.
- Let cheese melt slowly.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Char the poplano chiles over flame or under the broiler until blackened.
- Enclose in a plastic bag for 10 minutes.
- (No longer than 10 minutes, don't let them steam and turn to mush.)
- Peel the chiles, leaving the stem intact.
- Cut a slit lengthwise down the side of each chile; gently remove the seeds.

- A toaster oven on low heat is perfect for this.

- Add butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat.
- Add eggs and stir gently until softly set, about 4 minutes.

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon eggs into chiles through the slit.
- Arrange 1 stuffed chile on each plate.
- Spoon warm sauce over.
