1 small onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened, then add garlic and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the cooked spinach mixture and shredded cheese.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
