Spinach Cheese Bake

• 20 ounces fresh or frozen spinach
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
• 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon crushed red chili peppers or Aleppo pepper
• 10 ounces butternut squash, cut into 1/2 inch dice

1. If using fresh spinach, steam until wilted, drain well and chop coarsely. If using frozen, defrost and squeeze well. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, cheeses, flour, garlic, salt, green onions and chili peppers. Gently mix in the spinach and butternut squash.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the casserole is set, golden brown on top and the edges are crispy (my favorite part!). Serve warm.
5. You can prep this the night before (but don't bake) and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, bake and serve as directed
