Directions
Place peppers on a baking sheet and set oven on broil. Broil peppers until skins char. Turn peppers until skins are blackened all over. Remove peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes.
Remove charred skins and make a slit in each pepper leaving stems intact. Carefully remove and discard seeds.
In a bowl, mix together goat cheese, Jack cheese, parsley, cilantro, almonds, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions and stuff peppers.
Heat about 3/4" of oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat until temperature reaches about 375 degrees F.
Place flour on a plate and set aside.
Usng an electric mixer beat egg whites and salt until they hold stiff peaks. Add 1 tablespoon flour and yolks, one at a time, beating in between each egg yolk.
Dip each stuffed pepper into flour and then into egg batter and then into hot oil. When they are golden turn them over and fry on other side. Remove to a paper towel with a slotted spoon. Cook them in batches so you don’t overcrowd pan. Keep them warm as they cooked by placing them in a 200 degree F. oven.
