1 10 oz. Package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup diced red pepper
1/2 cup diced green pepper
9 eggs
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups grated swiss cheese (or use 1 cup swiss and 1 cup cheddar)
8 ounces feta cheese
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Thaw spinach in microwave on 50% power for 5 minutes. In the meantime, saute peppers in a little butter, adding spinach after microwaved. Saute until most of the moisture is gone from the spinach.

Grease a 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly and add the cheeses and butter. Mix well. Stir in the spinach and nutmeg. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Delightfully served with sliced ham, fresh fruit slices, a small dish of yogurt, and accompanied by our popular chocolate-cappuccino muffins. Serves 8.
