MICROWAVE CHILE EGG PUFF
Sturdier than a souffle but lighter than scrambled eggs, this casserole of eggs, chiles, and two cheeses is a family favorite. If you like, offer picante sauce to spoon over individual portions. From the Sunset Microwave Main Dishes cookbook. Please note: This cookbook states that these recipes were cooked and tested on a 700-watt microwave. If you have a 1,000- or 1,100-watt microwave, I would recommend lowering the cooking power.

- Place butter in a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave on High fr about 45 seconds or until butter is melted. Break eggs into dish and beat with a wire whisk until blended. Then mix in flour, baking powder, salt, cottage cheese, 1-1/2 cups of the monterey jack cheese, and chiles until blended. Smooth to make an even layer.
- Microwave, uncovered, on Medium-High for 5 minutes. Remove dish from oven and stir, bringing cooked edges of mixture toward center of dish and allowing uncooked portion to flow to edges. Then microwave, uncovered, on Medium-High for 5 more minutes, giving dish a half-turn after 2-1/2 minutes (if your microwave does not have a turntable). Sprinkle egg puff with remaining 1/2 cup of monterey jack cheese. Microwave,uncovered, on High for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and puff appears barely set in center. Let stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes; puff should feel firm in center when lightly touched.

CHILE EGG PUFF
From The Bush Family Cookbok. This recipe comes from Senator and Mrs. James McClure of Idaho. Since we have our own chickens, I am always on the lookout for new egg recipes. This one is not difficult, and really delicious. Great for breakfast when there are overnight guests. Serve with Spicy turkey sausage and corn muffins.
