Vegetable cooking spray

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup minced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Splenda (sugar)

One 10 ounce pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

3/4 cup 2% milk

1 tablespoon flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Pinch cayenne pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 or 9-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.

In a frying pan over medium heat melt butter and saute the onion, garlic, and Splenda (sugar) until golden and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach and heat through.

In a large bowl beat together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, flour, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne. Stir in the onion-spinach mixture and the parmesan and cheddar cheeses. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Makes 8 servings.
