Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides creaminess and protein boost; swap with ricotta for a different texture.
  • 3 large Eggs Essential for binding; use chia seeds or flaxseed meal as a vegan substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adds moisture; almond milk or any non-dairy option works wonderfully.
For the Vegetables
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Brings nutrition and flavor; substitute with kale or Swiss chard.
  • 1 medium Onion Forms the base flavor; consider using shallots for a sweeter taste.
  • 1 clove Garlic Elevates flavor; fresh garlic is best, powdered works in a pinch.
For Seasoning and Extra Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing overall taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential for enhancing overall taste.
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese Adds richness; opt for feta or mozzarella for a twist.
