Tried and True Recipe- Egg Casserole
You know you have a winner when everyone asks for your recipe~~and that is exactly what happened at a recent brunch. I’ve used this egg dish many times and have adjusted it according to what ingredients I had in the refrigerator or the garden. It’s easy to assemble and serves well either hot or cold. I’ve added corn, chopped tomatoes, cooked bacon, fresh herbs and the dish is always a crowd favorite. Start with the following ingredients: eggs, Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, diced green chiles, butter and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Melt the butter and add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix until well blended and eggs are beaten.
Pour blended ingredients into a buttered 9×14 inch baking dish.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Egg casserole will be nicely browned on top –insert a toothpick and will be done if it comes out clean.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Depending on the size of the piece, will easily serve 10-12.

You’re not going to believe this. This morning, I was meeting someone for business at my home. I didn’t feel comfortable being here alone (while my husband was at work) so I asked my mom to come over while I met the individual. She agreed and immediately I thought: What will I fix? It would be nice to have some type of quiche or egg casserole recipe…
Since I couldn’t think of one right off the top of my head, I just made something else but only if I would have seen this recipe first!!
I love this! Keep it coming! And I will definitely be saving this recipe for later…
