The Most Amazing Spinach Pie (Vegan, Low Carb, & Gluten Free)

This spinach pie recipe is rich and cheesy, but unbelievably low carb & gluten-free. It's a healthy, easy spinach feta pie you'll make over and over!


Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cup Blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 cup Coconut oil (measured solid, then melted)
  • 1 large Egg (beaten)

Filling:

  • 1 lb Frozen spinach (defrosted and squeezed to remove water)
  • 8 oz Feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 4 oz Cream cheese (cut into very small cubes)
  • 2 oz Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill (chopped)
  • 4 large Egg (beaten)


Instructions:


  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 9 in (23 cm) round pie pan or 8 in (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour and sea salt. Stir in the melted coconut oil and egg, until well combined. (It will be dry and a little crumbly. Just keep mixing until it's uniform.)
  3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
  4. Meanwhile, stir together all the filling ingredients, adding the eggs last. Transfer the filling into it and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the center is firm.


NOTES:

  • Serving size is 1/16 of the recipe. To get individual servings, cut a round pie into 16 slices, or if using a square pan, cut into 4 pieces in each direction (2"x2" in size if using an 8"x8" pan).
  • Serving size: 1 slice, or 1/16 of entire recipe
