This recipe presents the chile relleno in an omelet format, making it a more user-friendly dish for breakfast or brunch. Authentic Mexican flavors shine through in the spicy chorizo, the ricotta-poblano filling and fire-roasted peppers. Chef Kline also spikes Hollandaise sauce with a shot of chipotles and a little orange zest for extra zing.
