Ingredients

4 poblano peppers
2 1/2 Tablespoon flour
2 Tablespoons milk
1/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rub all sides of poblano peppers with olive oil and place on baking sheet.

Coat an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form,
Continue beating egg whites on low and add yolks, one at a time, until they are fully mixed in.
Beat in flour, milk, baking powder, salt and pepper. Batter should be light, fluffy and smooth.

Pour half of the egg mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. 
Spread two poblano peppers on top. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the poblanos.
Spread two remaining poblano peppers on top.
Sprinkle more cheese.
