cup cottage cheese
tbsp parmigiano reggiano cheese

Instructions
2 Note: in this recipe you can use cottage cheese, feta, or ricotta. Feel free to add scallions or any other herbs of choice. 0 In a pan on medium heat, add the oil. Add in the diced onion and sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Add the chopped spinach and a pinch of salt. Take it off the heat once the spinach has cooked down. 1 Next, add the cottage cheese (or ricotta) to a bowl with the Parmigiano cheese, mix in the spinach and onions and set aside. 8 Note: if you don't want to make the filling on the stove, this recipe also works by adding cottage cheese to a bowl with the Parmigiano Reggiano, a pinch of salt, and raw chopped spinach, eliminating the onion. 3 In a wide flat bowl, crack the eggs and mix well. Take a piece of rice paper, dip it in the egg on ONE side only and lay it flat on a cutting board, clean side down. Take the second piece and do the same making sure you overlap it a bit with the first piece. Repeat this step for the last piece of rice paper. 4 Now, take the filing and spread it evenly across into one thin long layer making sure to place it closer to the bottom half of the rice paper. Wait a few minutes for the rice paper to soften before rolling. 5 Gently and carefully roll the rice paper over the filling once, tuck the sides over the top, and roll the rest of the way. 6 When you have a long rope, take one end and begin to curl it onto itself. It should look like a coil. 7 Brush the roll with a touch more egg wash, then sprinkle with sesame seeds on top. Air-fry at 400F for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
