🛒 Ingredients

• 10 oz (280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup finely diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup oat flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 tbsp olive oil

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Drain the spinach: Squeeze the thawed spinach thoroughly to remove as much water as possible. Excess moisture can make the squares watery.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
4. Add the vegetables: Stir in the spinach, onion, and garlic.
5. Add the dry ingredients: Mix in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
6. Add the cheese: Fold in the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan until evenly distributed.
7. Bake: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
8. Cool and slice: Let the spinach bake cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

⭐ Helpful Tips

• Squeeze the spinach very well for the best texture.
• Cottage cheese adds moisture and protein while keeping the squares tender.
• Use your favorite cheese combination—feta, Monterey Jack, or Swiss can also work beautifully.
• For meal prep, store cooled squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 30–60 seconds.
