This is great. Just enough for two people (we are big breakfast eaters). I used cheddar cheese vs. monterey jack and it was wonderful. May add two 4 oz. cans green chilies next time but that is personal prefernece. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks.

This so good, Made it for lunch, made half the recipe for the two of us. Mixed the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper with my hand blender. Then stired in the chilies, cottage cheese, jack cheese. Baked it for 30 minutes, served it with my home canned Salsa. What a yummy lunch, but, would be good for any meal. Thank you Geema for another delicious recipe.

This was AWESOME! The balance in flavor was just right and the texture was perfect. The eggs had just the right amount of firmness while still being creamy and the green chilies offered great flavor with a very nice hint of spice. We made a few substitutions to make this South Beach friendly: We used whole wheat flour, melted Smart Balance spread, lowfat cottage cheese, and 4 oz of 2% milk cheddar cheese plus 4 oz of part skim mozzarella cheese. I served this topped with some good salsa. My husband is super picky and he said this was a definite keeper and was one of his favorite egg dishes so far. Thanks!!
