Keto Spinach and Artichoke Poppers

One of the early challenges my husband and I had when starting a keto way of life was figuring out what to take to social gatherings. Gameday parties or birthdays were filled with carb heavy options that were no longer suitable even for a less strict version of keto. The creation of these keto spinach and artichoke poppers was born of two goals – to bring something that our non-keto friends and family would enjoy and to bring something along that we could eat when other options weren’t suitable.

These poppers are delicious with loads of flavor! If you don’t eat them all in one day they can be stored in the fridge and rewarmed for a few seconds in the microwave. They make an excellent quick lunch the next day! If you happen to have an herb garden in your house then I highly suggest using some fresh parsley! Fresh herbs make a huge difference!

Keto Spinach and Artichoke Poppers – Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees
2. Mix together cream cheese and shredded mozzarella for dough in a medium sized microwave safe dish.
3. Microwave for 45 seconds, stir and repeat for another 45 seconds
4. Add egg and almond flour and mix well. This is easiest to do with a food processor however it can also be done with your hands. If the dough is too sticky rub a bit of olive oil on your fingers to keep it manageable.
5. Knead dough on a nonstick surface (silicone mat or parchment paper) until all ingredients are well mixed and set aside.
6. Place all filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. This is easiest if the cream cheese has been slightly softened or you use a hand mixer.
7. Divide your dough into 10 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin disk.
8. Place a small bit of filling in the middle of each disk and then fold and seal the edges of the disk around the filling until you have formed a filled dough ball.
9. Repeat for all 10 dough disks.
10. Arrange dough balls on parchment covered cookie sheet or use silicone baking mats!
11. Microwave 2 Tbsp of butter until melted, add garlic powder and chopped parsley. Mix well.
12. Use a spoon or sauce brush to spread garlic butter over the top of each dough ball.
