I remember when my friend brought over a similar recipe that had eggs, some veggies and cheese but there was white flour in it so I decided to change it over to making it grain free. You can make a big batch the night before, which is what I do and then in the morning it’s ready to eat after re heating. All I need to do is fry up some bacon or whatever side I’m serving and breakfast is ready!!! I know you’ll get a kick out of this recipe and it can be served for lunch too or even dinner.
Makes 8-10 servings
Ingredients
½ cup butter
2 cups cottage cheese
1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
1 teaspoon baking powder
10 eggs
¼ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup either bacon, grass fed ground beef, turkey or Italian sausage (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (204.4°C).
Sauté the meat first (until almost done) crumbled, let cool, then add to the ingredients before baking. If using bacon, cook crispy.
Grease a 6×10-inch pan with the ½ cup melted butter.
Mix cottage cheese, Jack cheese, green chilies, eggs, baking powder, salt, crumbled meat of choice and coconut flour together in a bowl.
Then pour mixture into the greased 6×10-inch pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (176°C) and bake until middle of casserole is set for about 50 more minutes.
Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
