Mexican Quiche Appetizer

















This recipe originated in Denver Junior League-Colorado Cache Cookbook; published in 1978. Great for Sunday Brunch. I substituted 1/4 cup cornstarch for the 1/2 cup flour to make gluten-free. Worked out almost identical to the original taste. I also chose to use pepper jack cheese. This serves 6-8 folks and freezes successfully. That is if any is left!
Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • dash salt
  • 8 ounces chopped mild green chilies
  • 2 cups cottage cheese 
  • 4 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (1 pound)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350-degrees.

Grease a 9x13-inch pan well and set aside.

Combine the cornstarch and baking powder. Beat with one of the 10 eggs until well combined and all lumps are smooth.

In a separate large bowl beat the remaining 9 eggs, add the cornstarch/egg mixture and beat again. Add the melted butter, add the chilies, cottage cheese and Jack cheese. Mix together until combined.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 45-60 minutes. Test center with a knife blade; knife should come out clean when quiche is set.

Allow to cool slightly before cutting into desired squares.

Enjoy!
