SPINACH COTTAGE CASSEROLE



Spinach Cottage Casserole image

I received the original recipe from a close friend's mom who makes it for every holiday dinner. I took the original and tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes by adding garlic, nutmeg, cream cheese and the variety of cheeses. By the way, the leftovers (which I can eat hot or cold) make a FANTASTIC omelet filler or pizza topping. I have had this as a side dish with duck, turkey, chicken, ham, roast beef, meat loaf and pork ribs. It seems to meld with anything and everything. For a Greek variation, add some feta cheese to the mix. This low-carb dish is also a great crock pot recipe, just mix all the ingredients together and heat on low for 8 hours.

I'm on a quest to revamp some of my recipes to make them WW friendly. This was from the WW site and I changed it to make it even less points.

Provided by A la Carte

Categories     Spinach

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces spinach, cooked and well-drained
2 shallots, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces fat-free cottage cheese

1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and sauté the shallot and garlic until softened. (I had to add a splash of water to keep them from browning).
  • Mix the shallot, garlic and spinach together, and then fold in the cottage cheese, eggs and the parmesan cheese, sprinkle in the chili flakes. Add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and some salt to taste (I added about a tsp of kosher course salt).
  • Bake uncovered for 40 minutes.
  • The original recipe called for 2% cottage cheese, melted margarine, and shredded cheddar - I eliminated them to make this down from a 4 pt side to a 2 pt side. I think it tasted really good!
