Originally, it came from my mother-in-law and I&#8217;ve been making it forever. I like it warm or cold, as a side dish\u00a0or even for breakfast. It&#8217;s easy to make, it&#8217;s delicious warm or cold, and it&#8217;s low carb.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>1 container of cottage cheese (16 oz)<\/p>\n<p>4 oz of shredded\u00a0 cheddar cheese &#8211; I always add more.<\/p>\n<p>1 package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (12 oz)<\/p>\n<p>3 eggs<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 stick butter cut into pieces<\/p>\n<p>The original recipe doesn&#8217;t call for mushrooms, but I had some fresh ones on-hand and didn&#8217;t want them to go to waste so I threw in a big handful and loved the result. So mushrooms are definitely an optional but yummy addition.
