    Instructions

    1. 1

      Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat (160°C/320°F).

    2. 2

      Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

    3. 3

      Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted and excess moisture has evaporated.

    4. 4

      Season the spinach mixture with dill, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

    5. 5

      In a bowl, whisk the eggs and fold in the cottage cheese until well combined but still chunky.

    6. 6

      Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Let it set for 2-3 minutes without stirring.

    7. 7

      Crumble feta cheese evenly over the top of the eggs.

    8. 8

      Using a spatula, gently stir the edges while letting the center remain mostly undisturbed, creating a rustic scrambled texture.

    9. 9

      Cook for 3-4 more minutes until eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat.

    10. 10

      Let rest for 1 minute before serving directly from the skillet.
