Fluffy Egg Casserole

I wanted eggs light and fluffy, ala Prince Omelette of Vegetales fame.  So of course I googled “fluffy egg casserole” and came up with this eggscellent recipe:  https://www.crazyforcrust.com/cheesy-egg-casserole/

I substituted sour cream for the cottage cheese called for due to a shopping failure, but actually liked the slightly tangy result.  Added mild green chilies and PCC pork sausage bits (pre-cooked so the fat was already rendered and it was a little brown).  Our convection oven seemed to brown it too fast at the recommended cooking team, so I reduced it part way to 325.  Enjoy!



INGREDIENTS

 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
 1 16 ounce package cottage cheese (or sour cream)
 2 cups shredded cheese (I used mozzarella but wanted to use pepper jack)
 1/4 cup all purpose flour (GF or regular)
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 10 eggs — lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F.  Use a non-stick pan or pre-grease or spray a baking dish.

Stir together butter, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, flour, baking powder, seasoning or add-ins, and salt. Whisk in eggs to mixture until combined (result will be lumpy).

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until browned and set in the middle. Cool 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
