INGREDIENTS

Vegetable cooking spray
10 oz Frozen chopped spinach; thawed and drained
1 c 1% low-fat cottage cheese
2 oz Crumbled feta cheese; (1/2 cup)
1/4 ts Pepper
2/3 c Nonfat buttermilk
2 Eggs
1 Egg white
1/4 c Chopped green onions
1 tb Chopped fresh oregano
1 lg Clove garlic
6 Frozen phyllo pastry; thawed
2 tb Fine dry breadcrumbs; divided
1 1/2 c Sliced plum tomato (1/4-inch-thick)

INSTRUCTIONS

Coat a 9-inch pieplate with cooking spray; set aside. Press spinach between
paper towels until barely moist; set aside.
Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add cottage cheese and next 5
ingredients, and process until smooth. Add spinach, green onions, oregano,
and garlic; process 45 seconds. Set aside.
Working with 1 phyllo sheet at a time, lightly coat each sheet with cooking
spray. Fold phyllo sheet in half crosswise to form a 13- x 8-1/2-inch
rectangle, and lightly coat both sides of rectangle with cooking spray.
Gently press rectangle into pieplate, allowing ends to extend over edges of
pieplate.
Repeat procedure with a second sheet of phyllo, placing it across first
sheet in a crisscross design; sprinkle 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs over second
sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo and breadcrumbs, continuing
in crisscross design, ending with phyllo. Fold in edges of phyllo to fit
pieplate and form a rim.
Pour spinach mixture into prepared crust; gently arrange tomato slices over
filling.
Bake at 350 deg for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center
comes out clean; let stand 10 minutes. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1
wedge).
Serving Ideas : Cut into wedges.
NOTES : Spinach, feta cheese, and phyllo dough, key ingredients in the
classic Greek dish spanakopita (span-uh-KOH-pih-tuh), combine with cottage
cheese in this unique quiche. Breadcrumbs sprinkled between the phyllo
layers prevent a soggy crust.
