Love it! I made this for dinner and had 3 happy kids! I didn't have cream so I used 2% milk. I added green pepper and cherry tomatoes from my garden. I was worried that the enchilada sauce would be too spice for my 6 year old so I increased the eggs to a dozen. This may be our new Friday night favorite! Thanks!

I made this for lunch for a work crowd and it went over very well. The only thing I omitted was the enchilada sauce; I served it with black bean salsa instead. Also, I cooked it 3 hours on low, instead of 4. It's a great way to make eggs and perfect for brunch or breakfast for dinner or lunch. Thanks, littleturtle!

Anything this good that comes out of a crock pot deserves 5 stars. I halved the recipe, used Monterey Jack cheese, used double the green chilies (1 full can in the half recipe), skipped the chili powder, and forgot to add enchilada sauce or cheddar cheese on the top. I turned the crockpot on high and dumped in the butter to melt while mixing the rest. Then I just brushed the butter around the bottom and sides (up a couple of inches). I turned it back to low before adding the egg mixture. Mine came out a little browned, but it didn't hurt it. When done, I turned it over onto a plate and served it in slices like a frittata. I think this is a very robust recipe and I now think that the crockpot may be the perfect way to cook frittatas and tortilla espanola.
