This recipe is one of our TNT recipes. I posted it awhile back at the Cooking Light message board. I've made this using full fat and low fat ingredients. It's one of those kinds of dishes that you can't mess up, I think. We like to serve it with sour cream and salsa. It's good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Egg & Green Chile Bake
Recipe By :Adapted from Cinnamon Mornings by Pamela Lanier
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Eggs
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups lowfat Monterey Jack cheese -- grated (to 2 c.)
1/4 cup butter -- melted*
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
4 ounces diced green chiles -- drained
GARNISH:
Sour cream
Guacamole
Salsa
* I usually cut butter to about 1/8 cup or a bit more and I can't see that it makes a difference.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat eggs. (I do this by hand using whisk.) Add remaining ingredients, beating after each addition. Pour into buttered 8 inch square pan or small pan of similar shape. Bake 30 - 40 minutes. Edges will brown a little. Serve with a dollop of one or more of the above garnishes. Serves 6.
A full-fat version of this is served at Big Yellow Sunflower Bed & Breakfast, Angwin, Ca., according to the book Cinnamon Mornings.
Brenda's notes: I've been making this very forgiving recipe for several years. It tastes very good made lower fat. (In fact, I don't think you can tell that lower fat products are used in it.) It reheats very well. It is one of my husband's favorites. Havarti cheese works, too. Reheats nicely using microwave oven. We love this stuff.
