Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cooked spinach (well-drained)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the dough:
    • Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway.
    • Mix in the almond flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until a sticky dough forms. Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if too sticky.
  • Prepare the filling:
    • If using fresh spinach, sauté until wilted and squeeze out excess water.
    • In a bowl, mix the spinach with the grated parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the pinwheels:
    • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
    • Spread the spinach filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Roll the dough tightly into a log and chill for 20 minutes to firm up.
  • Slice and bake:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Slice the chilled log into 1-inch pinwheels and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
    • Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid soggy pinwheels.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat or swap parmesan for cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
