Keto Spinach Pie

Keto Spinach Pie is a delectable Lebanese dish that combines savory spinach, aromatic spices, and a rich cheese filling, all wrapped in a low-carb almond flour crust. Perfect for a satisfying dinner while staying within your keto lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Coconut oil - 3 tablespoons (melted)
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh spinach - 200 grams (roughly chopped)
• Feta cheese - 100 grams (crumbled)
• Cream cheese - 50 grams (softened)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large (for egg wash)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, one egg, and salt to form a dough.
3. Press the dough into a greased 9-inch pie dish evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Poke holes with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the chopped spinach. Cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, cooked spinach, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
6. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
7. Brush the edges of the crust with the beaten egg.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
9. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
