Prepare Pan: Melt the butter in a 9×13 inch baking pan, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated. Set aside.
-
Mix Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and well combined.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: To the beaten eggs, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
-
Incorporate Butter: Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate.
-
Add Flavor: Stir in the mild green chilies, cottage cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour into Pan: Transfer the quiche mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 40-60 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top and set in the center.
-
Test Doneness: To ensure the quiche is fully cooked, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean and the quiche is set, it’s ready to be removed from the oven.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before cutting it into bite-sized squares. This will prevent it from crumbling. Serve warm and enjoy!
