Green Chile Egg Breakfast Casserole
A delicious and healthy make-ahead breakfast casserole with a touch of green chile spice. Perfect for low-carb diets and easy meal prep!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup melted butter
- 1 container cottage cheese 16-ounce
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 can diced green chiles 4-ounce, mild or hot!
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 10 large eggs lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, simply combine the melted butter, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, flour, baking powder, diced green chiles, and salt. Give it a good stir until everything is blended. Then, pour in your lightly beaten eggs and whisk everything together one last time. Don't worry if the mixture looks a little lumpy – that's perfectly normal!
- Pour this creamy egg mixture into your prepared baking dish. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is beautifully browned on top and set firm in the center.
- Once baked, let your casserole cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
It's fantastic fresh, but you can also slice it into individual portions and freeze them for easy, healthy breakfasts all week long. Just reheat in the microwave!
