Recipe Ingredients

4 tablespoons	60ml	Butter
5		Eggs
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Flour
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking powder
1		Salt
4 oz	113g	Chilies - green, chopped
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Cottage cheese - small curd
8 oz	227g	Monterey jack - shredded

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Melt butter in 9" square pan in oven. Tip pan to coat bottom with melted butter. In large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter; set pan aside. Stir in chilies, cottage cheese, and cheese. Blend well. Turn batter into pan. Bake 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350F. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool slightly and cut into small squares.

May be frozen. If you freeze, flash freeze. Flash freeze means to freeze food uncovered until solid, then wrap well and return to freezer. Use within 2-3 months. How to thaw: Place on baking sheet. Thaw 1-2 hours at room temperature. Before serving, reheat in 400F oven 10 minutes or until hot.

Note: The recipe may be doubled and baked in a 13"x9" baking dish.

Sylvia's notes: As usual, I didn't have the right size pan, so baked it in two pie pans for 15 minutes at 400 and then 15 minutes at 350F. They were just a hair too well browned. Quite tasty and would work well as a potluck where they could be kept warm or nuked.
