Ingredients:

• 1 pound bacon
• 10 eggs, beaten

• 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chile peppers and bacon. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
