Ingredients

6 large Egg whites

2 1/2 cups Low-fat cottage cheese

2 tbs Parmesan cheese grated

1 tbs Low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon Cumin ground

2 tbs Fresh Oregano chopped

4 cloves Garlic minced

pinch Red pepper flakes

pinch Black pepper

12 Anaheim chiles roasted and seeded but left whole

1 medium Onion chopped

1 medium Tomato chopped

4 Scallions sliced

1 cup Corn

1 1/2 ounces Monterey jack cheese shredded


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites with the cottage cheese, parmesan, soy sauce, cumin, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and pepper and set aside. Oil a 9 by 12-inch ovenproof dish and lay half of the chiles in it. Sprinkle the onion, tomato, scallion, and corn evenly over the chiles and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Layer the remaining chiles to cover the pie completely and sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the center of the oven for about 1 hour, until hot and bubbling. Remove the lid or foil and bake 10 minutes longer to brown the top. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

If you cannot find Anaheim chiles, substitute Ortega canned whole chiles. A 14-ounce can will be enough. [I posted this recipe.]
