A delightful savory pie that features a crisp almond flour crust filled with a creamy blend of low-fat cottage cheese, fresh spinach, and eggs. The dish is light yet satisfying, offering a balanced mix of protein and healthy fats perfect for a nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (210g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 large Egg (whole, 50g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour and olive oil. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until the mixture comes together into a dough. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a small pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the almond flour crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until lightly set and just beginning to turn golden.
While the crust bakes, in a separate bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, whole egg, and egg white until smooth.
Fold in the fresh spinach, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the mixture.
Remove the crust from the oven and pour the cottage cheese and spinach filling over it. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes until the filling is set and the top is just beginning to turn golden.
Allow the protein pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
