Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 1 minced Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole Egg wash (1 beaten egg with a splash of 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 for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until melted and smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour and baking powder. Add the melted cheese mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Add the egg to the dough and knead together until smooth. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly dust it with almond flour.

Step 5

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Cut the rolled-out dough into 8 triangular pieces (like a pizza). Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach-feta mixture at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 8

Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip to form a croissant shape. Pinch the ends gently to seal.

Step 9

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

Step 11

Let the croissants cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
