1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
1 egg

For the dough:

2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
3 ounces cream cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

To make the filling:

1)- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2)- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

3)- Add the spinach, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, unit the spinach is bright green and wilted. Remove from the heat.

4)- Add the feta, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese to the mixture and stir well.

5)- Add the egg and stir until fully combined. Set aside.

To make the dough:

1)- Place the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl.

2)- Microwave, uncovered, on high, for 1 – 2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.

3)- Remove from the microwave and stir with a spatula until the cheeses are combined.

4)- Add the egg, psyllium husk powder, and almond flour to the cheese mixture.

5)- Stir well with the spatula or a fork, until a stiff dough is formed.

6)- Knead the dough by hand for 2 – 3 minutes, to ensure all of the ingredients are fully mixed and the dough has a smooth consistency.

To assemble the calzone:

1)- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2)- Divide the dough in half. Press one half out on a parchment-lined cookie sheet into a 12 x 8 rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3)- Spoon the filling onto the center and spread out, leaving a one inch border all the way around.
4)- Turn up the sides and pinch at the corners to hold in the filling (see photo grid in post)
5)- On a separate piece of parchment, press out a 13 x 6 rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
6)- Cut into 3 long strips to braid, or the long strips into 6 shorter strips to lay across.
7)- Braid, or lay the strips crosswise diagonally in a criss cross pattern as desired.
8)- Press the strips into the dough around the edges of the calzone to adhere firmly.
9)- If desired, brush beaten egg yolk over the top of the calzone, and sprinkle with poppy seeds (or sesame seeds) and coarse salt.
10)- Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly puffed.
11)- Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
