Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat for creaminess)
  • 4 large eggs (free-range or organic for best quality)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, sautéed and drained)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or feta work well)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
