Ingredients

butter, for pan
10 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
1/4 pound butter, melted and cooled
2 small cans green chilies, diced
1 pint cottage cheese
1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch pan. Beat the eggs in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture — a little bit at a time — until all incorporated. Add the melted butter. (Make sure it's cool, otherwise you'll cook the eggs.) Add in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for about 40 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. Allow the dish to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
