Chef’s Insight

To achieve that perfect flaky crust, be sure to work the butter into the flours until it resembles coarse meal. - For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the bites before baking.

Notes

To make these bites even more flavorful, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling mixture.

Cultural or Historical Background

Spanakopita is a traditional Greek pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese, often served as a snack or appetizer. The Keto version uses almond and coconut flours to replace the typical phyllo dough, making it suitable for a low-carb diet.
