"Whatever" Eggs

This DuMond all-time favorite comes from Sallie DuMond in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Why is it now called "Whatever" Eggs? Here's the story:

At one time this dish was known as "California Eggs" but it was prepared on January 1, 1999, the morning after Mark and Sheri' DuMond's wedding. Soon thereafter, it became known as "Wedding Eggs." Then Ace and Sallie moved to Wyoming with their sons Taylor and Keaton, and the dish eventually was renamed "Jackson Hole Brunch Eggs."

Feel free to name it after your own hometown or special event. No matter what you call it, this is a delicious brunch entree to serve a crowd.

Serves 10.

10 eggs
1 pint cottage cheese
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
8 oz. chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup melted butter
1 lb (4 cups) shredded cheddar, swiss or monterey jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

In mixing bowl, beat together eggs, then all the other ingredients. Pour into the baking dish and bake 30 - 45 minutes.

Top with salsa, avocado, sour cream and cilantro.

Variation: crumbled bacon or diced ham.
