I found 9 RZ recipes for this type dish, but none at all like it & it sounds so good to me! I found it in the Tasty Holiday Gifts cookbook SusieQusie spotted at a bookstore in Dallas recently. From their intro: This spicy Chilies Rellenos Casserole is a great new way to serve eggs at Easter & it's easy to reheat for a delicious brunch dish! The quiche-like casserole features a crust of green chilies + a cheesy egg filling & is served w/sour cream & salsa. Since this is a meatless dish, I see spicy grd pork patties as a good side or even some yummy & well-cooked chorizo sausage as a good add to the dish. I would personally make this yr-round if I could, but I rarely see green chilies here & may have to wait for another visit to SQ in Dallas to enjoy it.
