Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and use the butter to grease a 2-quart or 9-inch square baking dish.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: Greasing the dish well prevents the eggs from sticking and makes cleanup much easier.
2
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Ca. 2 min.
3
Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Ca. 2 min.
4
Stir everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Ca. 1 min.
5
Gently fold in the drained green chiles until they are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Make sure the chiles are well-drained to avoid a watery casserole.
6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Ca. 1 min.
7
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn't jiggle when the pan is gently shaken.
Ca. 30 min.
Kokkens note: The casserole will puff up while baking and settle as it cools.
8
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Resting helps the casserole set, making it easier to cut into clean squares.
