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!)
