| 6 | Eggs |
| 8 oz | Monterey Jack cheese, shredded |

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan lightly to prevent sticking.
-
-
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Start with cracking the eggs and adding them first, then follow with the Monterey Jack cheese, green chilies, cottage cheese, butter, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
-
Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and evenly mixed.
-
Pour the mixture into the greased square baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a tester (like a toothpick or knife) inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve hot, optionally with salsa on the side for added flavor.
Tips for Variation
- Cheese: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss to change the flavor profile.
- Add-ins: Consider adding spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or even cooked bacon or sausage for added texture and taste.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of green chilies or add red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
