- ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon
- 2 packages cottage cheese
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 lb shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- cooking spray
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 can diced green chiles
- 10 large eggs, beaten
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 10x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and cottage cheese until smooth.
Stir in shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green chiles, and melted butter until well combined.
Add flour and baking powder to the mixture, folding them in gently.
Crumble the cooked bacon and mix it into the batter evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Continue baking for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For extra flavor, add diced onions or bell peppers to the mixture.
- Use sharp cheddar instead of Monterey Jack for a bolder taste.
- Substitute cooked sausage for bacon for a different protein option.
