ingredients
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
6 tablespoons flour
2 cups cottage cheese
1 medium onion, chopped
6 eggs, beaten
6 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, completely drained
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 7x12-inch baking dish.
Combine the cheddar and mozzarella in a bowl. Gently stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cheese then stir well to incorporate. Stir in the cottage cheese until well mixed.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or add a little oil the pan. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened.
Add the sauteed onion, eggs, margarine, and drained spinach to the cheeses and stir well. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 60-80 minutes at 350 degrees F or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned on top.
cook's notes
The cheddar and mozzarella add a little salty flavor to the dish but you may wish to add additional salt (and pepper) if desired.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I make this recipe and use to boxes of spinach. My family loves it. I also switch the spinach with chopped broccoli sometimes and it's just as good.

I thought this was one of the best and gourmet-like spinach dishes! It makes enough for holiday size dishes and cooks up into a large souffle-like dish. I did increase the spinach to 2 10oz. boxes.Don't see why you couldn't use other veggies as well.If your a quiche lover, you'll love this! I found it very easy to make and reheat!

Very tasty. I used a little less cheese and cooked for 1 hour. Served with bacon, my family loved it!!!!

This dish was very tasty, but too heavy for me. I liked it enough to play around with the proportions. I plan to try it with more spinach and less cheddar and mozzarella.
