Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the almond flour, gelatin, salt, butter and egg. Mix to combine thoroughly.
- Shape dough into a ball and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

- Cover with parchment paper and add pie weights, if using.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and firm.

- Place the garlic and onion in the skillet and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Remove spinach mixture from the skillet and place in a large mixing bowl. (If you have a large enough skillet you can leave the spinach in while you cook the meat.)
- Add sausage to the skillet, breaking up the meat. Continue to cook until sausage is evenly browned.
- Pour the sausage into the spinach mixture and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and salt, add in the cheese and stir to combine.
