    I'm going to try that with Swiss chard once my garden starts exploding.

    This looks great. I think I'll do this when my vegetarian brother and SIL come to town next week.

    OMG that looks delicious. Greek here so spinach pie is a necessity. Need to make some. Saving this.

    Wouldn't this just be a crustless quiche?
    I've never made quiche so I don't know the actual ingredients in one.

    It's almost frittata like as well...

    Sounds yummy, needs waaaaaay more garlic tho =P

    Also, OP, I'd saute the garlic a little bit in olive oil.
    It'd bring it to the next level!

    I make something similiar, but use a mixture of feta and parm ~ and use nutmeg as my spice ~ kind of like spanikopita flavor :)

    Any idea if this would freeze well?

    Made this in the half hour i had to get ready before work

    If i had bit more time i would have saute the garlic and onion

    but once its all cooked its all good either way - Saved on oil calories too and didn't need any more fat as the ricotta and cottage cheese

    But if you macros allow then by all means get some olive oil in that bad boy

    Not really a quiche - that's more eggy and and its all about the crust on them

    Think Greek spinach pie with no pastry

    Tweak the recipe to suit either way its banging good

    Might even add some Lebanese Sumac spice next time for that lemon kick

    Fresh parley and basil would also be good

    Feta cheese too instead of the cottage cheese

    Options are endless

    Ive also made this with silverbeet, comes out good too

    I love nutmeg in savory foods, its a must for bechamel sauce
