Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 pinches nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 4 egg large
- 1 pound spinach thawed and well drained, frozen, chopped
- 1 puff pastry thawed, sheet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic with olive oil until onions are translucent.
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, onion powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and 3 eggs. Add drained spinach, sautéed onion, and garlic. Mix well.
- Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Place in a pie dish, letting the extra pastry drape over the sides. Add filling, and fold extra pastry back over the filling (it should only cover the edges). Whisk the remaining egg and brush over the pastry.
