Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are browned and softened, approximately 5 minutes more.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano. Stir well to mix.
Fold the sautéed vegetables into the cheese and egg mixture until thoroughly combined.
Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
