    We had this today for the first time as the centerpiece of our New Year's Eve family brunch. It was a huge hit, absolutely delicious and easy to make. I assume that roasting the poblanos is why it's considered intermediate, but that's not really a big deal.

    We made the recipe as directed except for not including the bell peppers.

    Also, in the middle of the recipe is the direction to refrigerate for 6 HOURS or overnight. This was a surprise because of a typo in the overview that says inactive time 6 MINUTES.

    With hungry guests waiting, we skipped the resting period and it still turned out great. Can't imagine it could be much/any better soaking for 6 hours.

    Awesome! Made exactly how Emeril suggested. I don't like "Eggy" Casseroles, and this had just the right amount of eggs. The Poblano Peppers were my favorite part, just enough heat. I also put Avocados and Sour Cream..YUM!

    This recipe is very flavorful! I made just a couple alterations. I used canned diced green chiles on the bottom of the pan. Only because I could not find poblanos in my small grocery store. And I used spicy breakfast sausage...again that's all I could find. I baked it for an hour and it puffed up nicely. Let it rest for 15 minutes. And it was wonderful! Will make this again.

    delicious! I made this for Thanksgiving breakfast and everyone ate seconds, even though they knew they had a big turkey dinner coming up. I used only egg whites and chicken sausage instead of regular sausage. I also added a bit more bell pepper. There are only a few things about this dish that I found problematic. One was that it was incredibly watery. I don't know if others have ideas on combating that issue (I assume it was from the peppers. Another thing is I couldn't find "poblano" peppers in my local stores and ended up getting what I thought looked like a pablona, but it wass called pasilla. I ended up looking it up on wikipedia later and found it is the same pepper. I also thing this recipe could use more tortilla. Anyway, it was so good and we will definitely be making this again!

    Best egg dish ever! My husband and brother in law HATE egg bakes and they devoured this. I'm making it again for overnight Thanksgiving guests - labor intensive BUT VERY WORTH IT.

    I made this exactly like the recipe,but I did use beef chorizo. I also offered as a topping, sliced avocado, sour cream, picante sauce, and salsa verde. Everyone loved it. I will definitely make this again. It was Amazing!

    I made this exactly as written except for substituting chicken sausage for chorizo. It was a huge hit at our tailgate. Fantastic. I prepped the night before, threw it in the oven the next morning, and it was gobbled up within an hour of setting up. A perfect brunch with spicy bloody marys, everyone had seconds. I can't wait to make it again - just not too soon since it's not exactly a health food :-D

    I made this for brunch the day of my daughter's christening. Although, I prepped it a day in advance and cooked it the night before, so I only had to throw it in the oven to reheat it. It was absolutely delicious! I reduced the fat content by using milk instead of the half and half. You can't tell the difference. Everyone raved over this as well as a couple other recipes I made.
