Tex-Mex Souffle

Another not quite souffle, but it puffs up, so . . . .

  • 10 eggs
  • 2 C. (16 oz.) cottage cheese
  • 1 C. all-purpose flour
  • 4 C. (1 lb.) shredded jack cheese
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 C. butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 4-oz. cans diced green chilies (mild)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs until light and lemon colored. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cottage cheese, jack cheese and butter; blend until smooth. Stir in chiles.

Pour mixture into a well-buttered 9 x 13" baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until top is browned and center appears firm. Serve immediately.
