FRESH SALSA:

Whisk eggs, milk, cottage cheese, corn, chilies, salt and peppers in large bowl. Stir in cheese and tortilla strips. Pour into shallow 2-½- or 3-quart casserole. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake casserole 1 to 1-¼ hours or until center is set. Cool 20 minutes. Spoon salsa on top. Makes 8 servings.

Salsa: Combine all ingredients in small bowl.

COMMENTS: If you haven't decided what to serve for Father's Day brunch, try this. It is a do-ahead southwestern entree featuring cheese, tortillas and eggs seasoned with green chilies. Prepared salsa can be used instead of fresh.
