Southwestern Egg Casserole

Ingredients:

10 eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 cups (16 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

2 cups (16 ounces) cottage cheese

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into eggs (batter will be lumpy). Add cheeses, butter, and chilies. Pour into a greased (I use Butter Pam) 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. (Note: I make this the night before and refrigerate. Take out of refrigerator about 30 minutes to let the casserole come to room temperature before baking.)

Serves: 10 to 12

To serve 6, divide quantities by 1/2
