Cottage cheese can be a delightful substitute in dishes. With its high protein content and low-fat composition, it provides an option for those aiming to make smarter choices in the kitchen. The mild flavour of cottage cheese also allows it to blend with the other ingredients, creating delicious combinations in recipes.
Ingredients
6 large 6 eggs
250 g 250 cottage cheese
1 tsp 1 wholegrain mustard
1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
150 g 150 champagne ham, chopped
150 g 150 fresh spinach leaves
4 4 spring onions, finely sliced
1/2 cup 1/2 crumbled feta
1 tbsp 1 olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 185°C and grease a rectangular baking dish. Sauté the spinach and spring onions in a pan with olive oil over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add the cooked spinach mixture, ham and feta into the baking dish in layers, spreading out evenly. Gently pour the egg mix over the top.
