I found the recipe online somewhere and just did a little tweaking to it...

Spinach-Feta Bake (836 calories the whole thing)
Serves 3
280 cal/ serving. (pretty good size servings)
The numbers behind the ingredients are the calorie contents of that ingredient (the ones I use)

Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped onion (30)
3 cloves garlic, minced (13) ( I think I put more garlic in here, I love garlic!!)
1 -2 spray worth of olive oil spray
2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained all excess moisture removed (210)
1 cup shredded carrot (50)
1 cup fat free cottage cheese, drained (160)
1 cup crumbled fat free feta cheese (120) it is really only 4 oz. (use President brand)
1 cups Kellogg's Corn Flakes® (120) (or any low cal. cold cereal)
1 c. egg substitute(120)
2 tbs chopped fresh oregano or 2 tsp dried oregano leaves ( I use dried)
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper, (13)

Directions Cook onion and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir together onion mixture, spinach, carrot, cottage cheese, feta cheese, 1/2 cup of cereal, egg substitute, oregano and pepper. Spoon into 1 1/2-quart casserole coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. 15 min before it is done sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cereal over spinach mixture. The original recipe calls for sprinkling the corn flakes at the beginning but when I made it the cereal on top kind of got burned.

It is awesome with some salad or breadsticks. I take it for lunch, great heated up..
 
phyllo dough - available in most freezer sections - is fairly low calorie and low fat, if you substituted the corn flakes, you could make a spinach pie - a heavenly greek concoction that's layered l ike a lasagna and incredibly good.
