Ingredients

  • 6 whole Large Eggs, Beaten
  • 1 cup Small Curd Cottage Cheese
  • 1 can Chopped Green Chiles (4 Oz.) OR 3 Or 4 TBS. Finely Diced Green Pepper
  • 1-1/2 cup Shredded Cheese Of Choice, Approx. (use 4-6 Oz.)
  • 3/4 cups Diced Ham (could Also Use Cooked Breakfast Sausage Or Bacon)
  • 3 Tablespoons Or So Of Grated Or Minced Onion OR Sliced Green Onion To Taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
  • Frank's Red Hot Sauce, To Taste
  • 1/4 cups Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
  • 3 Tablespoons Or So Of Grated Parmesan Cheese

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Mix eggs, cottage cheese, chiles, grated cheese, ham, onion, butter and hot sauce in large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and pepper. Stir into egg mixture.
  • Pour into greased deep dish 9 inch pie pan. Sprinkle or grate Parmesan over the top.
  • Bake about 35-37 minutes or until set and knife inserted in center comes out clean. (Loosely lay a piece of foil over the top if it's browning too much toward the end.)
  • Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with additional Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
  • *Notes: I have used all different kinds of cheeses...a mix of sharp and mild cheddar is good, or Mexican blend,or colby/jack, etc. Last night I made it w/Swiss cheese, ham, and green pepper. Yum! I've only made it w/ham but I think it would be good w/sausage or bacon, too.
