I have been looking for a recipe to imitate a dish that I love at Rosine's in Monterey, CA and this is as close as you can get. Very satisfying! I don't eat ham, so I subbed green chilies. I love cheese, but I think that next time i'll use only 2 c. of cheddar as it was REALLY cheesy. Thanks for helping me satisfy a 3 yr. craving, Kittencal!
