Photo: Sheri Wetherell

Ingredients

5 ounce package fresh spinach

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, preferably whole milk

1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Place spinach in a microwave safe bowl, add about 1/2 a cup of water and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave about 2-3 minutes or until spinach has wilted.

Transfer to a colander and, with the back of a wooden spoon, press spinach to squeeze out as much water as possible.

In a deep oven-safe dish, such as a souffle dish or deep casserole, place half of the spinach in an even layer.

Add half of the cottage and Parmesan cheeses in an even layer.

Repeat and season with salt and pepper.

Place uncovered in a preheated 350F degree oven until the top is nicely browned, about 10-15 minutes.

About

This is an easy and delicious dish made with layers of spinach and cheese. Whole milk cottage cheese is best as it melts better and has less water content, so your dish won't come out watery. Adding fresh herbs, such as tarragon, is also quite tasty!
