Recipe Added:  3/10/2012
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
10 eggs
2 cans chopped green chilies
16 oz small curd cottage cheese
1 lb grated Monterey Jack cheese
Version Two
1 pkg pork sausage, browned
10 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups milk
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
6 cups cubed bread
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 medium tomato, chopped
Slice butter into large chunks and place in a 9×13 pan. Place pan in oven and preheat to 400. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cumin, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add 1-2 eggs and whisk mixture until there are no lumps. Add in remaining eggs and whisk until smooth. Stir in green chiles, cottage cheese, and jack cheese and stir until just combined.

Remove pan from oven and rotate so butter coats bottom of pan. Pour butter into egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour mixture into warm pan. Place pan in oven and cook 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional 35-40 minutes, or until top is golden and slightly browned. Cool 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serve.

Version Two Combine eggs, milk, mustard and salt; stir well. Distribute half the bread evenly in a buttered 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with half the pepper, half the cheese, half the sausage and half of each optional ingredient. Repeat layers. Pour egg mixture over casserole. Bake uncovered 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set.
