Mexican Quiche

Easy. Cheap. Marginally healthy.  Need I say more?
5 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter melted (I used oil)
1 (7 ounce) can of green chilies (I just used a 4 ounce can)
1 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion (I would use less)
1 tbsp butter
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in flour and baking powder. Add the 1/4 c melted butter, chilies, and cottage cheese. Saute onion in the 1 tbsp butter; add to mixture, along with cheese.  Combine just until blended.  Pour mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or pie plate and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking about 30 minutes. Cut into small squares or wedges and serve hot. Makes 6 servings.  (We ate this with corn tortillas.)
