  • Oven

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups spinach
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup almond flour

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SPINACH:

  • These bites have the finest taste and quality when they are made with garden-fresh spinach. It adds vital elements like vitamins, calcium, & iron in these bites. Defrost the spinach well and wring off any extra water if using frozen spinach to avoid soggy bites. The mild flavor and soft leaves of baby spinach make it an excellent pick.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • Mozzarella gives these pieces their distinctively mushy feel and melts perfectly. Use full-fat mozzarella for a creamier finish and more taste. Shredded fresh mozzarella from a block produces a better melt and requires less addition than pre-shredded cheese.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • The bites taste better thanks to the salty, nutty flavor that Parmesan imparts. The best-quality Parmesan melts evenly when it is freshly grated.

EGGS:

  • Eggs hold all the ingredients, which serve as the primary binder. Use large eggs to achieve the proper consistency. Remove eggs from the refrigerator a few minutes before using, since they combine best with other ingredients at room temperature.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • Garlic powder offers a delicate yet flavorful depth of taste without adding moisture. It adds the traditional garlic flavor without dominating the other components and mixes in effortlessly.

ONION POWDER:

  • Onion powder counterbalances the garlic flavor with its subtle sweetness and scent. It spreads evenly throughout the mixture, much like garlic powder, giving each bite a uniform flavor.

SALT:

  • Salt improves the overall flavor of these bites. Utilize kosher salt for even distribution. Sprinkle a little salt if the cheeses are too salty.

BLACK PEPPER:

  • Black pepper provides a slight spice and earthy flavor that balances the cheesy richness. Freshly ground pepper has the finest flavor, but pre-ground works just as well.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Baking powder gives the bits a small lift, making them lighter rather than denser. Make sure it’s fresh to achieve the greatest effects.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour makes the recipe minimal in carbohydrates while giving a light, nutty flavor. It also enhances structure and texture. Blanched almond flour provides a smoother finish, rather than almond meal.
