Spinach and Artichoke Filling
Spinach and artichoke is a classic pairing. And we thought it would be even better stuffed into a doughy crust!
To make this filling, all you need are a few ingredients:
- Frozen spinach
- Artichokes in a can
- Cream cheese
- Mayo
- Parmesan cheese
- An egg
Then just mix it all together in a bowl.
This Keto Spinach Artichoke filing would also taste amazing stuffed in portobello mushrooms or topped on pretzels.
How to Make the Tartlet Dough
The tartlet "dough" is made with melted butter and mozzarella (hello healthy fats!), which makes the "crust" really buttery and cheesy.
Then we add an egg and some coconut flour to create a sturdy dough that can handle the spinach artichoke filling.
This dough is so much better than the flaky carb-filled tartlets you'd find on a non-keto diet.
It is delicious!
Spinach Facts
Spinach is loaded with vitamins and minerals including iron, magnesium, calcium, folic acid, calcium, vitamins B6 and B9, and antioxidants.
It also has a very mild taste which makes it a perfect choice to add nutrients to this dip!
We use a package of frozen spinach in this recipe, but you can use fresh spinach - you just need to wilt it.
Cook the fresh spinach in a skillet with a little drizzle of avocado oil.
Once the spinach has cooked down, transfer it to a place, and then let it cool. Once cooled, use a big paper towel and scoop the spinach into it. Gently squeeze it over the sink to release the liquids.
Artichoke Facts
The artichoke’s active ingredient, cynarin, has been proven to aid in digestion.
It also has antioxidants, which make this wonderful keto vegetable.
Opt for artichoke hearts in the can. Then just drain them well and chop them up before using them in this filling.
Quick Tartlet Tips
Before you get cooking, here are some pro tips for you:
- Roll the dough out while it is still warm to avoid tearing. If tears occur, just press the dough back together.
- You may have to roll the dough out a few times with the excess to get 12 circles.
- Don't use a cup/dish that is less than 4-inches wide to make your circles.
- If tears occur while putting your circles into the muffin wells, use some extra dough to patch them up.
- When the tartlets are done baking, run a knife along the edges to help them come out easily.
