2. 2

   Cook soybeans in new water until tender.

   Thaw spinach in a bowl in the microwave.

   In a separate bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese, and one egg.

6. 6

   Spread cheese mixture over soybeans.

   Note: You may need two eggs for binding the cheese to soybeans if feta is particularly dry.

    Sometimes I dust the top with a bit of paprika for color not for taste.

    You can use more or less bacon.

12. 12

    It is just a teaser to get them to try it.

    I've made it without the bacon for a vegetarian friend of mine and she loved it.
