🥗 Ingredients (tap to check off)
- 16 oz frozen chopped spinach (thawed & squeezed completely dry)
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)
- 3 eggs large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 sheets low-carb tortillas or lavash sheets (trimmed to fit dish)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted butter
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep Oven & Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch square baking dish with olive oil cooking spray or a light brush of olive oil.
Whisk & Mix the High-Protein Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until smooth and frothy. Add the thoroughly squeezed dry spinach, crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese (or thick Greek yogurt), minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Pie Layers
Line the bottom of the greased baking dish with 1–2 low-carb tortillas or lavash sheets (trim edges if needed to fit snug). Pour the savory spinach and feta filling over the base and smooth the surface evenly. Place the top tortilla/lavash layer over the filling and brush generously with 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter.
Bake to Golden Perfection & Rest
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until the top crust is deeply golden, crisp, and the filling is set firm in the center. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 4 generous high-protein squares. Serve warm or chilled for meal prep!
❄️ Storing & Reheating Leftovers
Refrigeration: Allow the dish to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with a small splash of water or olive oil, or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly warmed. This preserves the delicate moisture without drying out the texture.
