Title: CHILI CHEESE BITES
Categories: Snacks, Appetizers
Yield: 32 servings

4 tb Butter
5 ea Eggs
1/4 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ds Salt
4 oz Chilies, green, chopped
1 c Cottage cheese, small curd
8 oz Monterey Jack, shredded

Preheat oven to 400. Melt butter in 9" square pan in
oven. Tip pan to coat bottom with melted butter. In
large bowl, beat eggs. Stir in flour, baking powder,
and salt. Add melted butter; set pan aside. Stir in
chilies, cottage cheese, and cheese. Blend well. Turn
batter into pan. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350
degrees. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until lightly
browned. Cool slightly and cut into small squares.

May be frozen. If you freeze, flash freeze. Flash
freeze means to freeze food uncovered until solid,
then wrap well and return to freezer. Use within 2-3
months. How to thaw: Place on baking sheet. Thaw 1-2
hours at room temperature. Before serving, reheat in
400-degree oven 10 minutes or until hot.

Note: The recipe may be doubled and baked in a 13"x9"
baking dish.

Sylvia's notes: As usual, I didn't have the right size
pan, so baked it in two pie pans for 15 minutes at 400
and then 15 minutes at 350. They were just a hair too
well browned. Quite tasty and would work well as a
potluck where they could be kept warm or nuked.
