Chile Egg Bake

This is a meal we have quite often because it's yummy and easy. Sundays after church too. (when I don't feel like making a big meal)
10 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 pint small curd cottage cheese
1 pd (cup?) shredded montery jack or cheddar cheese
1/2 c butter or marg. softened
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chilies
optional cooked ham or bacon (I add the already cooked bacon from costco that comes in the bag)
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and lemon colored. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cottage cheese, shredded cheese and butter. blend well. Stir in chilies.(stir in optional meat) Pour mixture in a well greased 9/13 baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until top is browned and center is firm. Can be made the night before and baked in the morning. (keep in fridge until baking)

Favorite "low fat" breakfast eggs

1 cup egg beaters (or 4-5 eggs beaten)
a large handful of fresh spinach
reduced fat feta cheese (I use about 1/4 cup)
shredded Parmesan cheese (I use about 1/4 cup)
1 tbsp olive oil or Pam
diced tomatoes ( sun-dried tomatoes are even better but not low fat)
thin sliced onion (1/4 of a reg sized onion)
garlic salt (to taste)

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Add spinach and wilt down (it shrinks a lot so add a LARGE handful) once wilted, add eggs. When eggs are just about done, add tomatoes and both cheeses (to taste) and salt (careful w/salt because the cheeses are salty). Serve warm with toast or tortilla

*This serves about 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are.
