This crustless Greek pie is made quickly in one bowl using cottage cheese to boost your protein intake. The ham and feta work together beautifully to create the ideal savory appetizer or snack.

Equipment

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup milk of choice

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ or 175℃. Line an 9x13 inch baking pan/dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk and olive oil until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste and mix to combine (don't over mix). Lastly fold in the ham, feta and mozzarella. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top with the grated parmesan and spray top with olive oil or brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to set in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. I slice this pie into 12 equal squares.

Notes
