  2. 2 Whisk egg yolks in a small heavy saucepan until light lemon yellow and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in1 to 1½ tablespoons lemon juice, depending on how tart you like your sauce.
  3. 3 Add 2 tablespoons cold butter to egg mixture. Place the pan over very low heat and whisk constantly until butter melts and mixture thickens enough to see the bottom of the pan between strokes. (If the mixture starts to thicken too quickly or look grainy, remove it from the heat and whisk in 1 teaspoon cold water.)
  4. 4 Remove the pan from heat. Whisk in remaining cold butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated and smooth.
  5. 5 Gradually whisk in the melted butter, adding just a few drops at first, then a slow, steady stream. Keep whisking vigorously to create a thick, smooth sauce. (If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in 1 teaspoon warm water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.)

Remove basil leaves with a fine mesh strainer and place into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain basil, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
  3. 3 Place egg yolks into a container with a base slightly larger than the base of a stick blender, such as a measuring cup or large beer glass. Add garlic, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, basil leaves, and Dijon mustard to egg yolks. Pour vegetable oil over the top.
  4. 4 Push stick blender all the way to the bottom of the container. Pulse blender 6 or 8 times, about 1 second per time, until mixture begins to emulsify on the bottom. Once mayonnaise begins to form, raise the stick blender slightly in the container and continue to blend until all oil has run through the blender, mayonnaise is thick, and basil is finely chopped, 10 to 20 more seconds.

  1. 1 Place 1 cup of tarragon, shallots, and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pour in white wine vinegar, white wine, and water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing tarragon mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
  2. 2 To make the compound butter: Place 1/4 cup chopped tarragon and capers in a mortar. Mash with a pestle for about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter. Mash and pound with a pestle until ingredients are thoroughly combined in a solid mass. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; wrap and chill.
  3. 3 To make the Béarnaise sauce: Place egg yolks in a stainless steel (flameproof) mixing bowl; add 3 tablespoons tarragon/shallot reduction; whisk together. Add cold butter cubes. Place bowl over low to medium heat whisking constantly until sauce thickens, as you hold the bowl with a kitchen towel. After butter melts continue whisking; mixture will turn a lighter yellow color after 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is nice and thick, reduce heat to low and stir in compound butter broken into chunks. Continue whisking. Remove from heat. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

  3. 3 While dough is rising, combine powdered sugar, flour, butter, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl for the topping. Mix with your hands or a spatula until a moldable dough forms. Mix in orange food coloring if you like.
  4. 4 Divide topping dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into balls; set onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover each ball with a sheet of plastic and press down with something flat and heavy (like the bottom of a glass or measuring cup) into a flat circle.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place poblano peppers on the foil. Broil in the preheated oven until the skins are blackened and blistered over 80% of the surface, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler off.
  3. 3 Transfer peppers to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and let peppers steam and cool for about 20 minutes. Remove cooled peppers from the bag; scrape off and discard blackened skin.
  4. 4 Cut a slit lengthwise into the side of each pepper, then remove the seeds and veins. To reduce spiciness, rinse out any remaining seeds with water, then pat dry with paper towels.
  5. 5 Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Place 1/2 cup flour into a shallow bowl for dredging.
  6. 6 Mix mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and Cheddar together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Divide into four equal portions, then lightly squeeze each portion in your hands to make a cone shape. Insert each cone through the slit into a pepper, then pin the openings closed with toothpicks.
  7. 7 Dredge stuffed peppers in flour, then dust off any excess. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and into the freezer for at least 30 minutes while you make the sauce. Keep remaining dredging flour available for Step 10.
  8. 8 To make the sauce, purée stewed tomatoes in a blender and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Pour in puréed tomatoes, chicken broth, vinegar, oregano, cumin, black pepper, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until sauce is reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes. While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and warm a platter in the oven.
  9. 9 To make the batter and finish the chiles rellenos, mix 1/3 cup flour with salt in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lightly mix in egg yolk and flour mixture until a fluffy batter forms.
  10. 10 Remove peppers from the freezer and dredge in flour again. Shake off excess flour, then use a spoon to gently dip each pepper into egg batter until completely coated.
  11. 11 Heat frying oil in a heavy cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, gently place coated peppers into hot oil and fry until batter is golden brown and cheese filling is hot, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fried peppers to the warmed platter while you finish frying.
  12. 12 To serve, ladle a generous spoonful of sauce onto each plate, then place a pepper in the center.
  13. 13 Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream over top.
