Ingredients

• 8 large eggs

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or oregano

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a round baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant.

3. Add Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs until well combined.

5. Combine: Stir half of the shredded cheese and the cooked spinach-onion mixture directly into the egg batter.

6. Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is beautifully golden brown.

7. Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes, slice into wedges, and serve warm!
