Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Spinach (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until the mixture is fully melted and combined.
Add almond flour and one egg to the cheese mixture. Mix with a spatula until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can lightly oil your hands to knead it.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle approximately 10 inches in diameter.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the chopped spinach. Cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Spoon the spinach and cheese filling onto one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together tightly to seal, then crimp the edges with a fork to ensure it stays closed.
Beat the second egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the calzone for a nice golden finish.
Carefully transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly spinach calzone!
