Wash poblano chiles, pat completely dry. Preheat the oven to broil at high and place the chiles on a baking sheet to broil for several minutes, turning halfway, until very blackened on both sides
2
Once blackened, place chiles in a bowl and cover to allow them to steam for 5-10 minutes.

Post steaming, peel the charred skin off the chiles carefully. Make a slit of approximately 1.5 inches on the side of each Chili and remove the seeds and membrane with a small spoon.

Stuff each chili with Oaxaca cheese.
PREPARE BATTER

In a large, deep mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper until smooth.

Coat the stuffed chiles lightly with 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish, then dip each in the batter, ensuring the chile is fully covered.

Transfer the fried chiles to a wire cooling rack lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
