Chef Tips
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor, but frozen spinach works well if you squeeze out excess water.
- Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Check the casserole halfway through cooking to prevent over-browning on top.

Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
A quick and delicious way to enjoy a savory, cheesy meal with minimal effort. The air fryer gives it a lovely crispy top while keeping the inside soft and flavorful. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or when you want something comforting without much fuss.
Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray an 8-inch pie pan with cooking spray and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cottage cheese, eggs, feta, flour, melted butter, garlic, onion powder, and a pinch of nutmeg. Give everything a good stir until it’s all mixed together. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, then pop it in the air fryer. Cook for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the center feels firm and set. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!
