5. Place 2 cups cottage cheese in a fine-mesh colander set over the sink and rinse with cold water, then drain well (this rinsing is optional). Spread the drained cottage cheese evenly over the chard.
7. In a bowl, beat 12 eggs and season with salt, fresh-ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Spike Seasoning (optional but recommended). Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the layered ingredients. Use a fork to gently stir or press so the eggs distribute throughout the casserole.
