Ingredients

• Spinach (fresh or frozen) – 300 g
• Eggs – 3 pcs.
• Cottage cheese (5-9% fat) – 200 g
• Hard cheese – 100 g
• Cream (10-20% fat) – 100 ml
• Flour or semolina – 2 tbsp.
• Garlic – 1–2 cloves
• Salt and pepper – to taste
• Nutmeg (optional) – a pinch
• Vegetable oil or butter for greasing the pan

Step-by-step preparation

• If you are using fresh spinach, wash and dry it. Remove tough stems if necessary. Defrost frozen spinach and squeeze out excess moisture well.
• In a preheated frying pan with a little oil, fry the spinach until soft (2–3 minutes). Add finely chopped garlic, a little salt and pepper.
• In a deep bowl, mix eggs, cottage cheese and cream until smooth. Add grated cheese (leave some for sprinkling), flour or semolina, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Combine the fried spinach with the egg-cottage cheese mixture and mix thoroughly.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with butter and lightly sprinkle with flour or semolina to prevent the casserole from sticking.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is golden brown.
• Let the casserole cool slightly so that it holds its shape better. Cut into portions and serve warm.
