Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1.5-quart soufflé dish or four individual ramekins with olive oil or butter, then lightly dust with almond flour to prevent sticking.
Sauté the chopped spinach in a medium skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg yolks, sautéed spinach, grated Parmesan, almond flour, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until well combined.
In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Fold one-third of the beaten egg whites gently into the cottage cheese mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, avoiding deflation.
Pour the batter into the prepared soufflé dish or ramekins. Place on a baking sheet and bake centrally in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the soufflé has risen and the top is golden and firm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and rise. Pairs excellently with a green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced, nutritious meal.
