Cheese and Green Chile Squares

1/2 cup cornbread crumbs (I made cornbread muffins and used 3 of them that we didn't eat)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
8 eggs (I used 2 cups of egg beaters)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup small curd 2% cottage cheese
2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese
1-7 ounce can of diced green chiles
1 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a small bowl combine the cornbread crumbs, salt and baking powder and mix that up and set aside.

In a larger bowl beat the eggs with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.

In a saute pan on medium/low heat the butter and add the onion and bell pepper, cook until tender.

To the beaten eggs add the onion, bell pepper, cottage cheese, cheese green chiles and breadcrumb mixture.  Mix for a couple of minutes with the electric hand mixed.  Then gently mix in the spinach.

Pour the batter into a baking dish that you have sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 40 minutes, just make sure the middle part is set.

Cool for a couple of minutes.

And cut into squares.

Enjoy!!!!
