I am trying these tonight, and I’m so excited. Your website is amazing, and I plan on trying lots of your recipes.
Hi, Adrienne! We are glad you are enjoying our recipes! We can’t wait for you to try this one out. Let us know how they come out!
Made the spanakopita today! I am in spanakopita heaven, one of my all time favourites. I however added fresh dill in with the spinach,Greek style. Thx for this delicious easy recipe.
Hi, Eva! That’s fantastic! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
They were so good!
Hi, Adrienne. We are happy to hear they came out great!
my dough is wet and sticky. i can’t move it or cut it. how do I fix the problem
Hi, Ivan. We would recommend adding a bit of almond flour to the dough (in 1 tbsp increments) until a dough-like texture is created. As the cheese cools, the dough will harden.
When handling always use cold water on hands as well
Is the egg suppose to be mixed into the dough? The directions say “ Add the remaining ingredients and mix.” The egg is one of those ingredients. Just want to clarify if you need to add egg to make the dough or only use it to brush on the dough when it’s ready for the oven. Thanks!
Hi, Kathy! The egg is an ingredient that is mixed in during this step. You wait until the last point to mix it in so it does not cook in the microwave or with the other warmed ingredients.
I agree…the recipe for the dough is confusing. There is also no way this makes 8.
Hi, John. What do you need clarification on about the dough? It makes 4 total (8 pieces, 4 tops and 4 bottoms).
It turned out really good. My only issue was I added too much cheese and I bake it on alum foil. It end up sticking to the foil and the cheese melted halfway to the point where I can see my meat patties inside. Overall I will say, excellent recipe. I will definitely do it again with the correct measurements. Thank you !
Hi, Julia. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
Hi I want to make this but I’m not allowed almond flour in my house my dad is very allergic if I used coconut flour instead how much would I add ? And would I add another egg?
Hi, Bec! You can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but the ratio is different. The average ratio is 1/4 cup coconut flour for every 1 cup almond flour. You don’t need to adjust the amount of liquid.
Great I think this will be 😊 so good can’t wait.
ok just made these and I am a good cook but don’t ever work with dough much so i am inexperienced there. This was the best keto dough i have ever worked with, it was amazing. However I stink at this and when i roll dough it always looks like the shape of a state rather than a rectangular so theres that. I tried to fix it by cutting it to shape then adding the other dough to it and rolling again but it was never right. in trying figure out how big to cut these because i didn’t have the right shaped dough i tried to do it to what an actual size of a Jamaican beef patty is. My dough needed to look more like Colorado but looked like Kentucky. There must be a secret to rolling dough that i don’t know. So instead of 4 patties I only ended up with 2 :-(. I couldn’t really roll it any thinner or it would have been like tissue paper. Maybe I just went to large. Also in doing the fork along the edge i ended up ripping them so i just wanna cry. I also didn’t add the red pepper flakes cause those are usally serious heat, one little flak will set me on fire so i did Sriracha instead which i can handle more at small amounts. The meat is great. But they cooked up great. I do wish we could achieve that flaky crust its supposed to have but this still turned out great even with my rolling skills and was delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
