Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

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 mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and well combined.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a beaten egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Cut the rolled-out dough into 4x4 inch squares. Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese filling onto each square.

Step 9

Fold the squares in half to form triangles and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 10

Brush the tops of each boreka with the egg wash.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 12

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
