Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. If not fully melted, microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds and stir until smooth.
Add almond flour, baking powder, and egg to the cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 10x8 inches in size.
In a large skillet over medium heat, wilt the fresh spinach until reduced by half. Allow it to cool slightly.
Spread the wilted spinach evenly over the rolled dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the spinach.
Starting from one of the shorter sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, using the parchment paper to assist if necessary.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log into 8 equal slices.
Place each slice cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Keto Savory Cheese and Spinach Pinwheels warm or at room temperature.
