1. 1
   Quarter the peppers and remove seeds, stems, and veins. Immerse peppers in boiling water for 3 minutes; drain well. Place peppers in a well-greased 2-qt. baking dish. Top with 1 cup cheese. Combine milk and eggs in a medium bowl. Add flour, baking powder, pepper, and salt. Beat until smooth with a rotary beater. Pour mixture over chiles and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees about 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serve with picante sauce and sour cream, if desired.
