Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 pint cottage cheese ( I use fat free)
2 cups grated cheese, of choice ( I like Swiss best)

2 cups cooked beef or 2 cups cooked chicken, bite-size
salt
pepper
herbs
spices ( see below)
olive oil flavored cooking spray or Pam cooking spray
more grated cheese, for top,if desired
2 -3 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325F.
Thaw spinach, and squeeze out as MUCH moisture as possible.
Beat the eggs in medium bowl.
Stir in the cottage cheese, grated cheese, spinach and seasonings; stir until mixed thoroughly.
(Note: Seasoning depends on choice of cheese& meat. E. g. for Swiss w ham or chicken, use 1/4 tsp. nutmeg; for cheddar or jack w/ anything, use cumin, oregano and chili powder, or Italian seasoning.) Lightly spray glass 13×9 pan w/ olive oil or PAM.
Distribute meat/chicken/ham (whatever1) evenly over bottom of pan.
Pour cottage cheese mixture over meat; push w/ spatula to distribute evenly.
Top with extra grated cheese if desired.
Sprinkle top w/ toasted wheat germ.
Bake 45-50 minutes, until set and slightly brown at edges.
Let sit a few minutes out of oven before serving.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
