Baked Egg Casserole

I worked with a lady who brought this in for a potluck. It is an easy recipe to make, and my family looks forward to this every holiday.

Ingredients
  

  • 10 eggs
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 pint small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese or Colby Jack (shredded)
  • 2 4 oz. cans diced green chiles (8 oz. total)
  • ½ cup melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Use a little bit of melted butter to grease a 9 X 13 glass baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs until light.
  • Add flour, baking powder, salt, cheese, and melted butter.
  • Blend together well and then stir in green chiles.
  • Pour into a well-buttered baking dish and bake for 35 minutes.
  • Use a toothpick to check if done, so it comes out clean. DO NOT allow it to get dry.
  • Let cool for a while and then slice into squares and remove with a spatula. Put on a serving plate to serve.
  • You can store them in the refrigerator and wrap in foil and warm them in a 350-degree oven and serve them if you take them for a dish at a Christmas party, or potluck at work.
  • Depending on how big you slice the squares, you should be able to get at least 2 dozen squares.
