Ingredients
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
Instructions
1. Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out all the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. In a large bowl, mix the drained spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, feta, cottage cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
4. Lightly grease a baking dish. Pour the spinach mixture in and smooth out the top.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, until the top is firm and lightly golden.
6. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Always squeeze the spinach dry to prevent a watery texture.
For richer flavor, use full-fat feta and cottage cheese.
Let the casserole rest before slicing to help it set and hold shape.
