Ingredients

3 medium zucchini, grated

4 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese (plus more for topping)

2 green onions, chopped

2 tbsp chopped fresh dill

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add cottage cheese and whisk until smooth.

Stir in grated zucchini, chopped green onions, garlic, dill, olive oil, and feta. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top. Add a few extra crumbles of feta if desired.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set and golden.

Let the bake cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.
