Crunchy Chile Relleno Monte Cristo

A handheld sandwich combining melty cheeses, roasted green chiles, and a golden, crisp exterior. Bread buttered outside, layered with sharp cheddar and pepper jack hiding a hearty chile filling. Twice cooked—first seared, then battered and fried—until crunchy, all wrapped in a custard-like egg coating. Vegetable oil provides the crisp crust. Mastering the flips and timing is key to avoid soggy bread or raw centers. Alter cheese types or chiles to change heat or creaminess. Quick prep, about 10 minutes total. Serves two hungry eaters.
