Ingredients

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.
