Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Spinach
- 3 ounces Feta cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Knead the dough with your hands (slightly greased to prevent sticking) until it forms a smooth, cohesive ball.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté chopped garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then set aside to cool.
Gently pat the cooked spinach mixture with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, and mix it with crumbled feta cheese in a small bowl.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the rolled-out dough into 6 triangles (like a pizza).
Place a heaping tablespoon of the spinach and feta filling at the wide end of each triangle. Starting from the wide end, roll the dough toward the tip to form a croissant shape.
Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with melted unsalted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Low Carb Spinach and Feta Croissants warm or at room temperature!
