Ingredients
4 cups chopped spinach (fresh or thawed frozen)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 large eggs
1 small onion, diced
1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze dry. For fresh, chop and sauté until wilted, then cool.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in feta, cottage or ricotta, spinach, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour mixture into baking dish. Spread evenly.
6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until set and golden on top.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be sure to squeeze all moisture out of the spinach to avoid a soggy casserole.
Letting it cool before cutting helps it set and improves flavor.
