Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.

Step 3

Toss the hash browns with 1/4 cup of melted butter in a lightly greased 9 inch pie plate; pressing them into the bottom and up the sides for a crust. Bake for 20 minutes or until they are starting to get crisp.

Step 4

Meanwhile in a large bowl combine the salt, flour and the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Add eggs, cottage cheese, chilis and cheese. Mix well.

Step 5

When the hashbrown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and return to the oven, lowering the temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes until the quiche is light golden brown and slightly puffed.

Step 6

Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.

Great flavor! Easy to make as written and delicious. The only issue I had was no fault of the recipe. In So Cal, canned diced green chiles can be a bit "sloppy". Draining them is no easy task because they mush. Next time I'll buy canned whole green chiles and dice them myself. We like SPICY so I'm anxious to try this with pepper jack cheese. Served with fresh salsa. Sweetie declared "this is a keeper!" I agree. Thanks, Galley.
