- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 green onions sliced thin
- 1/2 pound spinach washed and chopped fine
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 eggs
- 8 ounces crumbled feta divided
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over a medium heat.
- Saute green and white onions until translucent, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
- Chop reserved zucchini insides, add spinach and chopped zucchini to pan and continue cooking until spinach is wilted and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Drain excess liquid, return spinach mixture to pan and cook another minute or two to remove excess liquid, spinach mixture should be on the dry side. Add dill, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.
