It’s magical how just a few simple ingredients can result in something so delicious. Defrosted frozen spinach, eggs and a little feta cheese creates the filling but the real magic is the crust. You just take almond flour and place it at the bottom of the baking dish, top with the egg filling and once baked, the almond flour transforms into a crispy crust. And for those watching your blood sugar, it’s low in carbs and gluten-free!
