For a vegetarian option, ensure that the cottage cheese used is made with vegetarian rennet. Feel free to experiment with other greens, such as kale or collard greens, for a different flavor profile. Remember to adjust cooking times accordingly. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the spinach before serving can add a bright, acidic counterpoint to the richness of the dish. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts for added texture and nutty flavor. This dish can be served warm or cold, making it a versatile option for any occasion.

Jun 6, 2025I used kale instead of spinach and it was still really good. Just needed to cook it a little longer.
