Eggs With Chilies and Cheese

"I came across this recipe while looking for breakfast ideas and thought it would be a good way to use up some cottage cheese. Although this calls for Monterey Jack cheese any cheese will work, I've even used American cheese with good results. This makes a lot of servings but it can easily be halved to serve 4-5 people (using an 8x8-inch pan baking for 20-30 minutes). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (January 1987)"

  1. Ellie, we didn't care for this much at all. I'm not sure but it just seemed to lack something, but not sure what. I think I will try a different cheese the next time. I used the monterey cheese only. Maybe substitute Jalapeno peppers for the green chiles or maybe a mixture of both.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
