👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with olive oil or butter.
2️⃣ Sauté onion in a small skillet with a drizzle of oil until translucent and soft. Add spinach and cook just until wilted (skip this step if using frozen spinach that’s already cooked and drained).
3️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in cottage cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4️⃣ Add the spinach and onions to the egg mixture, stirring until everything is evenly combined.
5️⃣ Pour into prepared dish and spread mixture evenly.
6️⃣ Bake 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
7️⃣ Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
