Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Butter, melted - 30 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Fresh spinach, chopped - 150 grams
• Feta cheese, crumbled - 100 grams
• Cream cheese - 50 grams
• Green onion, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of a greased muffin tin to create cups. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.
5. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, cream cheese, chopped green onion, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
