Makes:  24-36 squares (depending on size of squares)

4 T. butter
5 lg. eggs
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/8 t. salt
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
2 to 2-1/2 c. shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
  (or you can mix the cheeses together for a blend)
1 c. small-curd cottage cheese
12 oz. jar of sliced jalapenos, drained
  (use 1/2 to 2/3 of jar, depending on your taste preferences)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Melt butter in a 9-inch
square baking pan in oven.

In Cuisinart bowl, add eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne,
