Melt one cube butter or margarine in a 9x13" pan, cool and pour around to coat pan.
In a large bowl, beat 10 eggs and add:
The cooled margarine or butter
1/2 cup flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
Big dash of pepper
Fold in:
1 lb. cottage cheese (1 small carton in Peru)
1 lb. grated pepperjack, or other cheese
1 can (3 oz.) diced chilies (don't necessarily need with pepperjack cheese)
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 min. Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake 30-40 minutes longer or until toothpick comes out clean. I find that in Peru my cooking times are much shorter than in the US. I do 10 mins. at 400 and then 20 mins at 350 and check it. Enjoy!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cooked (boil them in water about 20 minutes or
bake 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or use leftovers
Chop or shred chicken breasts in bite-sized pieces in a medium sized bowl and add:
3-4 ribs of celery, diced
2-4 onions china (green), finely sliced
1/4 cup chopped pecans (not too finely)
1/4 cup craisins and/or golden raisins, if from Peru cut the raisins in half
Stir together and add enough mayonaise and a little lime juice, salt and pepper to the desired moistness. You can also thin it with a little milk.
I add more or less of these basic ingredients according to what I have or feel like and sometimes add a little curry powder to taste for a zestier flavor.
Serve on fresh croissants. Also good on crackers for a snack or appetizer.
