Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. white pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 lb. Monterey Jack/cheddar cheese blend shredded
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 3 - 4 oz. cans green chile drained

Instructions
 

  • Heat the butter in a saucepan until melted and butter stops foaming. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium-low heat until smooth, stirring constantly; remove from heat.
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl until blended. Add baking powder, white pepper and milk; whisk until combined.
  • Slowly add the roux, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add cream cheese. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese and green chile.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set. (If using individual quiche dishes, bake for about 35 minutes. Be sure to spray dishes well to keep them from sticking.)
  • Cool for 10 minutes and cut into servings.
