Chili Cheese Egg Breakfast/Brunch Casserole ~ Printable Recipe

"As an inexpensive source of good nutrition,

there is nothing more glorious than the egg."

~ Edward Ahrens

A great way to use your extra eggs, this protein-packed, breakfast/brunch recipe, is simply satisfying...

• 10 eggs
• ½ c. flour 
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 pt. cottage cheese
• 2 c. (tightly packed) Colby/jack cheese, graded
• ¼ c. butter, softened 
• 2 (7 oz. cans) Whole Ortega chilies (Remove any seeds, cut into chunks.)

Beat eggs till light and yellow. Add remaining ingredients (beside chilies) and beat together. Finally, fold chili’s in. Pour into 9 by 12 inch pan (greased). Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or more, till light golden brown. Let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving so that the casserole will set.

Note: This can be made ahead of time and frozen. To reheat, thaw in fridge overnight, cover with foil and bake at 350 until warmed through (about ½ hour or so).
