Thanks, Kittencal.
This is my new favorite go-to recipe for brunch or lunch. It is easy, delicious and pretty to serve. I served salsa on the side.
I made this for my Mah Jongg luncheon group and everyone wanted the recipe! I served it with the new Costco 7-Super Foods Salad Mix. (I made it the night before and then just warmed it up for lunch. Easy!)

This is a keeper! It is so delicious and light! We had it with a salad. I love a good challenge when I'm cooking/baking, but once in a while, I love something easy like this; something for which I have all the ingredients on hand!

This was okay. I used fresh chiles, and they leaked a lot of water which is no fault of the recipe. But while it is a good egg and chile recipe, it does not resemble chile rellenos.
