Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 cups egg whites
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 2 cups cheese of choice*
  • 1 cup cottage cheese*
  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix eggs and dry ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the 4 cups of egg whites and 4 whole eggs. Using a handheld mixer, beat them for about 2 minutes until well combined and slightly frothy. In a separate small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Break up any clumps, then add this mixture into the beaten eggs and blend evenly.
  3. Incorporate fillings Using a spatula, gently fold in the 1 cup cottage cheese, diced green chiles, chopped cooked chicken, cheese of choice, and diced tomatoes until everything is well distributed throughout the egg mixture.
  4. Transfer and bake Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes or until the casserole is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Serve Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm. For extra flavor, consider topping with sour cream and salsa verde if desired.

Notes

  • Consider topping with sour cream and salsa verde for extra flavor.
