You know you have a winner when everyone asks for your recipe~~and that is exactly what happened at a recent brunch. I’ve used this egg dish many times and have adjusted it according to what ingredients I had in the refrigerator or the garden. It’s easy to assemble and serves well either hot or cold. I’ve added corn, chopped tomatoes, cooked bacon, fresh herbs and the dish is always a crowd favorite. Start with the following ingredients: eggs, Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, diced green chiles, butter and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Melt the butter and add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix until well blended and eggs are beaten.

Pour blended ingredients into a buttered 9×14 inch baking dish.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Egg casserole will be nicely browned on top –insert a toothpick and will be done if it comes out clean.

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Depending on the size of the piece, will easily serve 10-12.

This looks very interesting. Is 1T of baking powder a teaspoon or a tablespoon?

  uppercase T is for Tablespoon
  lowercase t is for teaspoon
  in all recipes, that call for table or teaspoon.

  T is for tablespoon, t is for teaspoon, but a Tablespoon of baking powder is a lot of baking powder!

Can you substitute a different kind of flour to make gluten free?

  I would try almond flour.

  I would use Bob's Red Mill one-to- one or another packaged mixture designed to be swapped for regular flour. It works well with recipes and doesn't have too light or heavy texture or taste like some flours. I have celiac and have been GF for 12 years now.

  Rice flour, almond flour has a slight sweet( to me) taste.

  You can buy gluten free flour - for instance
  cup4cup all porpoise, etc.

  I have not done that so I cannot say whether it would work or not.
