My Personal Experience

Spanakopita has always had a special place in my heart — that mix of herbs, spinach, and cheese creates a flavor that’s comforting and elevated at the same time. But when I transitioned to keto, I thought I’d never enjoy anything similar again.

After weeks of experimenting with crusts, fillings, moisture levels, and cheeses, I finally landed on the perfect combination.
The first bite took me straight back to traditional Greek flavors — rich, creamy, herby, savory, and perfectly satisfying.

My family couldn’t believe it was keto, and now it’s one of those recipes I make when I want something that feels gourmet but fits my macros perfectly.

How to Make Keto Greek Spinach Pie

Step 1 — Prepare the Spinach

  1. Wash and drain fresh spinach.
  2. Sauté in a skillet for 3–4 minutes until wilted.
  3. Transfer to a colander and squeeze out all excess moisture.
    (If using frozen spinach: thaw completely and squeeze dry.)

Step 2 — Make the Keto Crust

  1. Mix almond flour, melted butter, egg, and salt until dough forms.
  2. Roll between parchment sheets to fit your pie dish.
  3. Press gently into the dish, trimming excess edges.
  4. Pre-bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

Step 3 — Prepare the Filling

  1. Sauté onion and garlic in a small amount of butter until soft.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add sautéed aromatics, feta, mozzarella, dill, salt, and pepper.
  4. Fold in the spinach.

Step 4 — Assemble the Pie

Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
Smooth the top.
Sprinkle extra cheese if you want a golden top.


Step 5 — Bake

Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Cool 5 minutes before slicing.


Tips for Success

✔ Remove ALL moisture from spinach

Too much liquid = soggy pie.

✔ Chill dough before rolling

Creates a flakier, sturdier crust.

✔ Don’t skip the pre-bake

This keeps your crust crisp.

✔ Enhance flavor

Add nutmeg, red pepper flakes, or oregano.

✔ Add protein

Mix in cooked bacon, sausage, or shredded chicken.


Optional Add-Ins

• Crumbled bacon
• Sun-dried tomatoes
• Extra feta on top
• Sautéed mushrooms
• Sesame seeds on crust (Greek style)


Serving Ideas

• Pair with Greek salad
• Serve alongside keto tzatziki
• Enjoy for breakfast with eggs
• Pack a slice for work or meal prep
• Serve with roasted chicken or lamb


Storage Recommendations

Refrigerator:

Store 3–4 days in an airtight container.

Freezer:

Freeze slices for up to 2 months.
Thaw overnight in the fridge.

Reheat:

350°F oven for 10–12 minutes.
Microwave: 1–2 minutes.


FAQs

Can I freeze the whole pie?

Yes — bake it first, cool completely, then freeze.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes — use dairy-free cream cheese, mozzarella, and feta.

Why is my pie watery?

The spinach wasn’t drained enough — always squeeze thoroughly.

Can I make this crustless?

Absolutely — just bake the filling in a greased pie dish.
