Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet or sauté pan with sides, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers and garlic. Sauté until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add the spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat. Place the spinach mixture onto a plate lined with paper towels to remove moisture.
Step 3
To a blender, add the eggs and cottage cheese. Whip until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and whisk to blend.
Step 5
Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Add black pepper, to taste, if desired. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Add the feta and Parmesan. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Press out any remaining moisture from the vegetable mixture and add it to the dough. Mix well to combine.
Step 8
Evenly spread the batter into an 8x4-inch loaf pan that's been lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test. (If the loaf is getting too brown on top, you can cover it with aluminum foil.)
Step 10
Allow loaf to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
