Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease muffin pans.

Sift together into a large bowl, corn meal, sugar, salt, flour and baking powder.

Add the egg, milk, butter, corn and cottage cheese and stir lightly, just to mix and moisten all ingredients.

Divide half of batter among the muffin pans.

Now spread the chopped chilies evenly across the batter and cover with the grated Cheddar cheese.

Pour remaining batter over top to seal. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Additional Information

If any of the Cheddar melts down the sides of the muffin tins, these may be a bit tricky to remove, but carefully sliding a knife around the muffins should do the trick.
