Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, give an 8-inch pie pan a good spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a mixing bowl, toss together the spinach, cottage cheese, eggs, feta, flour, melted butter, garlic, onion powder, and a pinch of nutmeg until everything is well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Pop the pan into the air fryer and cook for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the center feels firm and set. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

How to serve

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent the dish from becoming soggy.
