Ingredients
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 pinches nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 pound frozen chopped spinach thawed and well drained
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
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.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
