I make something quite similar to this (http://www.food.com/recipe/chili-cheese-souffle-rellenos-al-reves-390051), that I serve either as an entree or as an hors d'oeuvre. My version makes a significantly larger quantity; however, this is perfect as a 4-person entree -- or in our case, 2 people over 2 nights! Wonderful flavor, especially when topped with an interesting salsa! Thanks for posting. By the way, works fine with low-fat cottage cheese, if you want to cut a few calories.

You did it again, Nimz, another great dish. It reminds me of Huevo Rancheros. The Rotel/green chilies really gives the dish a nice kick and makes this so special compared to other breakfast dishes. I loved how easy it is to prepare too. I'm putting a copy of it in our motorhome as it will be VERY convenient to make while traveling. Good job, Nimz!

So easy!! Love that I can whip this up in the morning (verus other egg bakes that need to be made and sit overnight). I use Bisquick in place of the flour/baking powder, and extra cottage cheese or some light sour cream in place of the butter.

Made this for PARTY tag game. We liked it, but not as much as the normal breakfast casserole I usually make. Made a half recipe, otherwise made as is. Think it would benefit from some cooked crumbled sausage in the mix. Made a good breakfast for supper. Very quick to put together!

I added in a package of cooked breakfast sausage and this was fantastic! I'll definitely make this again.
