Classic Chili Rellenos With Anaheim Peppers is a dish that has its origin in Mexican cuisine. They are made with Anaheim peppers that are stuffed with cheese, egg-battered, and then fried. The dish is known for its spicy and cheesy flavor that is hard to resist. The cheese, when melted, gives it a creamy and rich texture that balances out the spiciness of the peppers. It's a perfect dinner recipe, that can be enjoyed by everyone who loves some spice in their life.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2.	Cut a slit down the side of each chili, being sure not to cut all the way through. Remove the seeds and stuff each chili with cheddar cheese sticks. Fold the sides of the chili around the cheese and secure with toothpicks.
3.	In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, water, flour, and salt until smooth. Carefully fold in the egg whites.
4.	Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Dip each stuffed chili into the egg mixture and shake off excess batter. Fry each chili until golden brown on all sides, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until the eggs have set and are lightly browned.
5.	Serve hot with salsa, if desired.
