Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, beaten eggs, cottage cheese, grated parmesan, and Irish cheddar. Sprinkle black pepper, then stir until creamy.
  3. Sauté fresh spinach in a pan over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes until wilted. Transfer to a strainer to press out moisture, chop, and fold into the cheese mixture.
  4. Lightly spray a tart pan with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set and edges are lightly browned.
  6. Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
