Meatless Monday- Green Chile and Egg Breakfast Casserole

My mom picked this recipe up from my cousin and I picked it up from Googling a few of the ingredients. LOVE IT!

Serves/Makes: 8 Difficulty Level: 3 Ready In: 30-60 minutes

Ingredients:
10 eggs
1 pint cottage cheese
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup unsifted flour
1 pound shredded Sonoma Jack or Monterrey Jack cheese
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cans (4 oz. size) diced green chilies

Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs and add remaining ingredients. Bake in buttered 9" quiche dishes or 9x13" baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until eggs are firm and inserted knife comes out clean. This dish can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and baked just before serving. It is also good with spinach and mushrooms.

  1. Made this myself for the first time and had a difficult time dumping in all of that cottage cheese/butter/cheese...so I added 2/3 of the cottage cheese, 2/3 butter and half the cheese. Turned out great and I've been grabbing a slice each morning to take with me to work for breakfast.

  2. Good to know. I had hesitated on this one because it is so heavy on cheese, butter and eggs. Maybe I will experiment with it a little.
