Method

1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brown the mushrooms hard in the oil, 5 minutes, then add the garlic, thyme and spinach for a minute, until it wilts and the pan is dry.
2. Beat the cottage cheese with the eggs, the yogurt, the flour and salt until smooth; it is both the filling and the top.
3. Spread half into a 6-inch (15 cm) dish, spoon the mushrooms over, cover with the rest and scatter the Parmesan. Bake 20–22 minutes, until just set with a faint wobble and golden. Squeeze the lemon juice over to serve.
