Pancakes:
- 1 c. pancake mix
- 3/4 c. skim milk
- 1 egg (or 1/4 c. egg substitute)
- 1 T. olive oil
- 2 lb. fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
- 1 egg, beaten (or 1/4 c. egg substitute)
- 1 c. low fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1/4 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 T. chopped almonds
Preheat electric griddle to 400 degrees.
Combine all pancake ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until no lumps remain.
Spray the griddle lightly with cooking spray. Pour batter onto griddle to make 8 pancakes (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Cook until set, flipping once. Turn onto a warm plate. Set aside.
Combine spinach, onion, egg, cottage cheese and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix until spinach is well coated.
Layer the pancakes and spinach mixture in two stacks on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray, beginning and ending with a pancake. Sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped almonds.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the stacks are firm and golden. Serve warm.
