- 150g spinach
- 6 eggs
- 200g cottage cheese

Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C/Gas 4.
- Grease a 12 hole muffin tin, or use 2 6 hole muffin tins with the butter. Then place baking parchment in each of the greased holes so the frittata will come out easily.
- To wilt the spinach, empty the leaves into a colander and pour a kettle of boiling water over them. Squeeze the liquid out of the spinach, and roll into a ball. Roughly chop.
- Beat the eggs, and add a large pinch of salt and pepper. Then add in the spinach, cottage cheese, spring onions, dill and a large grating of nutmeg.
