Gluten-Free Spanakopita 

Ever since I shared my grandma’s famous spanakopita recipe, I have received so many requests to create a gluten free or lower carb one. Well, I finally did and it turned out absolutely incredible! The crepes that I used are zero carbs, gluten free and made from egg and cauliflower. They are super thin and I have made so many different recipes with them, including the spinach and mushroom savory crepe cake. Due to the fact that they are a bit difficult to find, I recommend that you buy a bunch and store them in the freezer. I even brought a few packs with me to Greece! If you aren’t able to purchase these egg thins, make your own crepes by using the batter from this recipe.

Gluten-Free Spanakopita 

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

• 4 eggs
• 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup feta, crumbled

• 1 leek, finely chopped
• Sea salt and pepper to taste 
• 4 tbsp butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

• STEP 1. Whisk 3 of the eggs in a bowl and save the 3rd egg in a separate small bowl for the topping. 
• STEP 2. Combine the Greek yogurt, baking soda and feta, and mix.
• STEP 3. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sauté the spinach and leek, until soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside to cool. Once it has cooled mix with the eggs and feta.
• STEP 4. Preheat oven to 400 F or 200 C.
