Notes
* How to roast poblano chiles: Place chiles on rack of broiler pan. Broil until skins are charred or covered with black blisters, turning occasionally. Place in glass bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove peppers from bowl; carefully remove peels, being careful not to break the skins. Use small knife to make a vertical cut in side of each pepper. Remove small cluster of seeds attached to base; then discard. Stuff peppers as directed.
Make ahead: Stuff chiles as directed. (Do not bake.) Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, 30 minutes or until heated through. Top with cheese; continue as directed.
