- 1 1/2 teaspoon dill dried
- 2 egg
- 8 ounces feta cheese divided, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

- 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.
