Ingredients

12 eggs (large, organic)
1/4 cup flour (organic all purpose)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups cottage cheese (1%, small curd)
1 cup cheese (freshly grated, I used a mix of cheddar and Monterey)
2 tbsp butter (melted, grass-fed is best)
8 oz green chiles (diced)
1 bunch green onions (chopped finely (whites only))

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a deep 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2
Beat the eggs. I find it easiest to do this with an electric mixer.
3
Beat in the flour, baking powder, & butter. Then fold in the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, green chilies, and green onions. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
4
Pour your egg mixture into your prepared baking dish.
5
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the center is set. Let cool for 10 minutes. Slice into 12-18 squares and dig in.
