Ingredients

Crust

1 (4.6-oz.) box White Corn Taco Shells (12 shells)

3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Filling:

3 eggs

1 cup small-curd cottage cheese

8 oz. (2 cups) shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend

1/2 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons drained Chopped Green Chiles (from 4.5-oz. can)

2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives

Topping:

6 tablespoons sour cream

6 tablespoons Thick 'n Chunky Salsa

Directions

Heat oven to 325°F. In food processor or blender, crush taco shells until very fine. In medium bowl, mix crushed taco shells and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Press in bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake at 325°F. for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat eggs. Add all remaining filling ingredients except chiles and olives; beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Stir in chiles and olives.

Remove partially baked crust from oven; increase oven temperature to 400°F. Pour filling into crust.

Return to oven; bake at 400°F. for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.; bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes or until center is slightly puffed and light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes.

Cut quiche into wedges; place on individual serving plates. Top each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 tablespoon salsa. If desired, garnish plates with tortilla chips.
