Easter Quiche

Story:
Easy! Easy!

We just moved into a new ward a couple of months ago, and they do a big "Easter Egg-stravaganza" on the Saturday before Easter every year.  It was a lot of fun!  They had a nice breakfast and inflatable jump-ies and egg hunts and balloon games and tug-of-wars and even a (get this...) a chicken chase!  Yes, one of the men in the ward has some chickens and he would tie dollar bills around the legs of the chickens and then set them loose in the yard... the kids who caught the chickens,  got to keep the dollars!  It was great.

Anyway, they had people volunteering to bring dishes to the breakfast, and trying to "jump right in," I signed up to bring an "Easter Quiche"-- for which they handed out a recipe so they were all the same and it kept it simple.  It turned out yummy!  I liked it because it had the flavor of my family's traditional CHEESE STRATA that we have every year on Christmas morning, but it was much easier. (Sorry, Mom.)  I decided to add it on here.  It's pretty basic... at the Breakfast, it was served just as a side dish with whole wheat pancakes, loads of fresh fruit, and hot sausage... well, here it is:

Ingredients:
1/2 C melted butter
10 eggs
1/2 C flour
1 t baking powder
2 C cottage cheese
2 C shredded cheddar blend cheese (I used a cheddar/jack blend)

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients well.
Pour into a 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (until the top is browned).

..."Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy..." as Gretchen says.
