Chili Egg Puff


One of the unexpected perks of getting
married was gaining a mother-in-law
who happens to be a great cook and who
is willing to share recipes. Thank you,
Lynne!






I remember the first time I had this at my
in-laws. It was a holiday morning, and I thought,
WOW! I still think that and so I am sharing it
with you.

This is a quick and easy breakfast dish to share with
holiday company, but I've also made it for dinner.
The dudes love it. And on a crazy week like this one,
when I have page proofs and copy edits and a book
all due at the same time, this recipe really saves my
bacon (although, there is none in this recipe it goes
nicely on the side).


Chili Egg Puff

Ingredients:

10 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 pt cottage cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cans diced green chilies
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced tomato

Beat first 7 ingredients until smooth. Pour into a greased
9 X 13 baking dish. Stir in green chilies, onion and tomato.
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

The eggs puff up nice and fluffy and the
cheese and veggies give it a wonderful flavor.
Truly a terrific dish!

  4. What a great idea. Can it be made the day before and popped in the oven in the morning?

  5. Thanks, All!

    Krista, how funny. I was wondering if it could be made before hand when I was making it. I'm pretty sure it could, but I would still add the veggies just before baking so their flavor wasn't too strong.
