I roasted my own fresh chilis for this recipe... and I also used a mixture of Smoked Guyere cheese with cheddar and monterey jack. The family loved it! -
Very good! I used fresh chilies and they were still quite hard. Next time I'll precook the fresh or use canned. I'll also use some of my salsa! -
This is very close to the recipe i just used, I used 3 4oz cans of whole chilis and added in some chopped onion beterrn each layer. I also omitted the seperating and whipping of the eggs...I just am not that patient! I also did not add eggs till last, once they cooked till set I added a can of enchilada sauce on top and topped with more cheese. Yummy!!! (and low carb!)
