Easy Cheese Puff Bake

Another Yancey classic! This was so good for dinner tonight. I never put the sausage in with the eggs because Kaysen prefers his sausage separate. It's really good either way!



-->

8 eggs

¾ cup flour

1 tsp. baking powder

2 cups cottage cheese

3 cups shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (12 oz.)

½ cup butter, melted

12-16 oz. Jimmy Dean Sausage, browned, optional

Beat the eggs until foamy. Blend in the flour and baking powder. Stir in the cottage cheese and shredded cheese. Stir in the melted butter and the cooked sausage, if desired. Pour into a 12x8” or 9x9” baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes until browned on top. Cut in squares and serve while hot. Makes 6-8 servings. We like to serve this with cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit for Christmas or New Year’s breakfast, but it’s delicious any time of the year!
