Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 13 × 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2 Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Heat butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted.

3 Place eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at high speed until blended.

4 Shred the Monterey Jack. Add the flour mixture to the eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, Monterey Jack, cottage cheese, green chiles and pimientos. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

5 Bake until set, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into squares. Serve egg bake immediately with fresh fruit and muffins, if desired.
