Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, and then heat for an additional 30 seconds until fully melted.
Stir the almond flour and the egg into the melted cheese mixture until a dough forms. You may need to knead it with your hands a little to get everything well combined.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
In a skillet over medium heat, wilt the chopped spinach for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Spread the wilted spinach evenly over the dough rectangle. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the spinach.
Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, using the parchment paper to help lift and roll the dough.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/2 inch thick pinwheels and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the pinwheels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb savory cheese and spinach pinwheels as a delicious snack or appetizer!
