Spinach Cottage Cheese

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ounces baby spinach finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Egg

  • 6 whole eggs fried per piece
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, spinach, and shredded mozzarella. Mix well until the dough forms a uniform texture.
  • Roll the dough into a thick log about 6 inches long, then divide it evenly into 6 pieces.
  • Shape each piece into a flattened circle and press a hole in the middle with your finger. Place the pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with egg wash (optional) for a golden finish and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  • While baking the cottage cheese rounds, heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the eggs into circular shapes. Aim for a neat round size to match the cottage cheese.
  • Assemble the bites by placing a fried egg circle between two spinach cottage cheese rounds. Please feel free to serve warm or store it for a quick snack.

Baked Cinnamon Apples

Baked Cinnamon Apples are a warm, spiced dessert made by stuffing apples with a mixture of oats, brown sugar, pecans, and butter, then baking them until tender. They're a comforting treat perfect for any season!
Course: dessert, Side Dish
Cuisine: American, Gluten Free, Vegan
Keyword: fruit
Servings: 4
Calories: 300kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 pcs apples
  • 1/4 cup oats old fashioned
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Apples:

  • Wash the apples thoroughly.
  • Core the apples, removing the seeds, but leave the bottom intact to create a “well” for the filling.

Make the Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Chop the pecans into small pieces and mix them into the dry ingredients.
  • Add softened butter to the mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
  • Stuff the Apples:
  • Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out centers of the apples. Pack it in tightly to ensure it doesn’t spill over while baking.

Arrange in Baking Dish:

  • Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. If you want softer apples, you can add about 1/4 cup of water or apple cider to the bottom of the dish to create steam while baking.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. You can test the doneness by piercing the apples with a fork.

Serve:

  • Let the apples cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy them as-is or top them with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or plain Greek yogurt for extra indulgence!
