Chili Cheese Souffle Squares

8 Tbs butter
1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt

10 eggs
7 oz. green chiles
2 c cottage cheese
1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded (can use pepperjack cheese, too, or a combination thereof)


Slice butter into large chunks and place in a 9 x 13 pan.  Place in oven and preheat to 400 degrees.  (Keep an eye on this so it doesn't burn!)

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Add 1-2 eggs and whisk until there are no lumps.  Add remaining eggs and whisk until smooth.  Stir in chiles, cottage cheese and jack cheese and stir until just combined.

Remove pan from oven and tilt so the butter coats all over, then carefully pour butter into egg mixture and stir to combine.  Pour mixture back into warm pan.

When oven is preheated place pan in oven and cook for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 and cook an additional 30-35 minutes, or until top is golden and slightly browned.  Let cool (and set) for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
