Ever had one of those days? You know, the kind of day when you forget to take meat out of the freezer, you've run around and suddenly it's 5:00 and someone asks, "...what's for dinner"? This is one of my 'go to' recipes for just that kind of day!
Cheesy Green Chili Egg Casserole
6 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup cottage cheese, small curd
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 4 oz. can green chilies, chopped
Mix everything together and pour into an 8 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 min.
The above recipe is just the start of a great, anytime dish. But take this beginning and build your own amazing casserole. I've added leftover steak, rotisserie chicken, breakfast sausage, link sausage, leftover vegetables...you name it, it just makes it better! I've also been know to change the cheese. Swiss works good or try Monterrey Jack. You can also bake in a smaller casserole dish for thicker servings or a larger for a thinner slice. Just watch your time, adjusting up or down. Less time for a larger dish and more time for a smaller one.
So, the next time you forget about dinner...try this out. You won't be sorry! The cottage cheese works so well with eggs, I started adding them to my scrambled eggs to make them extra fluffy...try it out.
