Jalapeno Cheese Squares

Nancy's Pantry's Note:

This dish is listed under Brunch recipes in the Edible Heirlooms Cookbook, but it could easily be served as an appetizer. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds easy and tasty.

• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan, lightly coated with cooking spray, with a single layer of pickled jalapeno slices. Beat eggs in a medium bowl.
