This Cheesy Keto Spinach Calzone is, as the name suggests, with both cheese and spinach. The best calzone you can eat while keto, this is as close to the real thing as you can get! Low carb, gluten free and vegetarian!
I debated over whether calling this a keto calzone or a keto braid, but once I made and tasted it, calzone became the clear winner. Partly because how you assemble this cheesy keto spinach thingy isn’t important – so braiding is absolutely not necessary. I didn’t officially braid this anyway, but rather laid strips across it to appear braided, because it was frankly much easier.
While it was pretty with the strips, as an easier alternative you could simply press or roll out the dough, put the filling on one side, and then fold the other side over and crimp it, like you would a traditional calzone. It will not affect the flavor or outcome at all.
