4 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
1 zucchini, finely chopped
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp. garlic granules

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4) and grease a pie dish with 1 tsp. of olive oil.
Heat the remaining 3 tsp. of olive oil in a pan over a medium-high heat and sauté the red onion and zucchini for 3-4 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper and add in the garlic granules and herbs.
Stir through and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes until soft, then set aside to cool slightly.
Break the eggs into a large bowl and add the cottage cheese, whisk until combined.
Next stir through the parsley, sun-dried tomatoes and cooked vegetables.
Transfer the mixture to the earlier prepared dish.
