A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining the flavors of green chilies and cheese in a fluffy egg bake.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your bake.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the baking powder.
Add the eggs and melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly avoids lumps and creates a smooth batter.
Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, diced green chilies, and salt.
Fold gently to maintain the texture of the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Spreading evenly ensures uniform cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
Allowing it to cool slightly makes it easier to cut and serve.
