Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend shredded
- 3 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 4 ounces diced green chilis
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8” baking dish and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer until light, about 3 minutes.
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low for 30 seconds.
- Add cottage cheese, shredded cheese, butter, and green chilies. Mix with a spatula.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Put it in the oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is just slightly browned.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can prepare the dish the night before. Just cover and refrigerate, uncooked. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before baking the next day.
- You can double the recipe. Bake in a 9x13” baking dish.
- The cottage cheese cooks into the casserole adding creaminess and texture. You won't know its there after cooking.
