Ingredients

• Fresh spinach - 200 grams
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Cream cheese - 50 grams, softened
• Egg - 1 large
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Egg wash (for brushing) - 1 egg, beaten

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add fresh spinach. Cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, and the cooked spinach. Add the egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
4. Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the spinach mixture and form them into bite-sized balls, about the size of a golf ball.
5. Place the spinach balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Spanakopita Bites warm!
