Preheat oven to 325\u00b0.
Thaw spinach, and squeeze out as MUCH moisture as possible.
Beat the eggs in medium bowl.
Stir in the cottage cheese, grated cheese, spinach and seasonings; stir until mixed thoroughly.
(Note: Seasoning depends on choice of cheese& meat. E. g. for Swiss w ham or chicken, use 1/4 tsp. nutmeg; for cheddar or jack w/ anything, use cumin, oregano and chili powder, or Italian seasoning.) Lightly spray glass 13x9 pan w/ olive oil or PAM.
Distribute meat/chicken/ham (whatever1) evenly over bottom of pan.
Pour cottage cheese mixture over meat; push w/ spatula to distribute evenly.
Top with extra grated cheese if desired.
Sprinkle top w/ toasted wheat germ.
Bake 45-50 minutes, until set and slightly brown at edges.

Serve hot or at room temperature.
