Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

Add the almond flour and egg to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly dust your hands with almond flour when handling.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Leave about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Carefully roll up the dough, starting from one of the shorter ends, to form a log. Use the parchment paper to help guide the roll if needed.

Step 9

Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Spinach and Cheese Pastry!
