Soak dry red lentils for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge. Rinse and thoroughly strain the soaked lentils.

While straining the red lentils, in a bowl, mix squeezed spinach with onion, feta, olive oil, dill, and pepper until evenly combined. Set aside.

Blend strained lentils with cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth, then briefly blend in baking powder.

Line a 20 × 20 cm pan with parchment paper. Spread ⅔ of the lentil batter on the bottom, layer the spinach mixture evenly, then cover with the remaining batter. -Sprinkle seeds on top if desired.

Bake at 365°F (185°C) for about 45 minutes, until golden. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
