Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach (or 3/4 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions or onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for greasing pan
  • Optional: chopped herbs, mushrooms, red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cottage cheese until fully combined.
  3. Fold in spinach, onions (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and edges are lightly golden.
  6. Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen spinach—just be sure to remove extra moisture. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for future meals. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain texture.
