Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Mixed fresh herbs (parsley, basil, dill), chopped
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
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 on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a smooth, dough-like consistency is achieved.
On a clean surface, place parchment paper and roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed spinach, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
Carefully roll up the dough starting from one of the longer edges, creating a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal.
Place the stuffed bread roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
