Ingredients
4 tbsp butter
5 each eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 dash salt
4 oz chilies, green, chopped
1 cup cottage cheese, small curd
8 oz monterey jack, shredded
Directions
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.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
We hope you enjoy this Chili Cheese Bites recipe.
