Enjoy the scrumptious flavors of this Keto Spanakopita, where crispy phyllo and creamy spinach filling come together to create a low-carb Greek masterpiece.
Whisk the egg whites and water until foamy in a medium bowl.
Add the melted butter, xanthan gum, and coconut flour to the bowl.
Mix everything until well combined.
Make the spinach mixture
Combine the raw spinach, chopped spring onions, egg yolk, crumbled feta cheese, and the aromatics in a large bowl.
Thoroughly stir the mixture until you achieve an even distribution of all ingredients.
Whip up the phyllo sheets
Prepare a double boiling set: Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Then, place a pan on top of it.
Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray for the first phyllo. Pour approximately 3 tablespoons of phyllo batter into the pan.
Shake the pan to spread the mixture evenly and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges separate from the pan.
Carefully remove the cooked phyllo and set it on a wire rack.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Assemble the pie
On a baking dish, lay one phyllo sheet and brush it with melted butter. Continue to stack and brush each phyllo sheet until you have a total of 4-6 layers.
Next, spread the cooked spinach filling evenly on top of the sheets.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining phyllo sheets.
Then, cut the assembled pie into squares and pour the remaining melted butter over it.
Bake the spanakopita
Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C).
Transfer the baking dish to it and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the phyllo is golden and crispy.
Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool off before serving.
