Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients


Wash and chop the spinach. Dice the tomato and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic.

  • Cook the Aromatics


Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.

Stir in the diced tomato, ground paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and the spices are well combined with the onions and garlic.

  • Incorporate the Cottage Cheese


Gently fold the cottage cheese into the tomato mixture, allowing it to warm through and blend with the other ingredients.

  • Cook the Eggs


In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the cottage cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still creamy. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

  • Add Spinach and Finish


Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted and integrated into the dish.

  • Garnish and Serve


Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over a bed of cooked grains for a satisfying meal.
