Keto Spanakopita Dip is rich and super cheesy with four kinds of cheese, and garlic and dill bump up the flavor!

I never heard anyone complaining of too many cheesy dip recipes. (I mean, is there such a thing as too much cheese?!) With that in mind, here I took inspiration from delicious Greek cuisine and made a low carb version of Spanakopita, no crispy crust needed!

My Keto Spanakopita Dip uses four different cheeses for different textures, flavors, and gooey cheesy melty-ness:

• Cream cheese makes the perfect creamy base.
• Mozzarella melts well and gives this dip a great “cheese pull” effect.
• Sharp white cheddar adds richness and complexity.
• Lastly, feta adds tangy, salty flavor and crumbly texture.

Garlic and dill add a lot to the flavor profile too!

Pro Tip: Don't skimp on the cheese! The different kinds of cheese all add something unique to this dish. And it's supposed to be ultra-cheesy.

You can use anything you want for dipping here. I whipped up my own low carb tortilla chips, as a play on the crispy phyllo crust. However, celery sticks or cucumber slices would also be delicious.

Greek Food

Greek cuisine is from the Mediterranean area, and as such, it commonly includes the following:

• Olives and olive oil
• Lemon
• Cheese and yogurt
• Fresh herbs
• Nuts
• Honey
• Wine
• Grains, especially wheat
• Meat, often lamb

You can read more about Greek food on Wikipedia.

What is Spanakopita?

Spanakopita is a savory Greek pie with a spinach and feta cheese filling and phyllo crust.

Authentic Spanakopita

Now, of course my recipe for Keto Spanakopita Dip isn’t an authentic Spanakopita recipe! Authentic Spanakopita is a pie, and it uses phyllo dough for a crunchy golden crust to encompass the savory spinach-based filling. Although it’s delicious, traditional Spanakopita is high in carbs so I took the same flavor profile and remade it into a low-carb and keto-friendly version – in dip form!

Spanakopita Dip

I wanted to remake this classic Greek recipe into something that can easily fit into a ketogenic lifestyle. The easiest way to do that was to omit the phyllo and use cheese as the base! There’s still spinach in this recipe, but it’s quite a bit less. The main flavors in this four-cheese dip are garlic, dill, and of course the four different kinds of cheese!

This recipe is great to have on hand as an appetizer for a party. It’s sure to be a hit with both keto and non-keto eaters! I served this dip with my easy homemade low carb tortilla chips.

Pro Tip: Whip this up and keep it in the fridge and treat it as a keto fat bomb. To do so, heat one portion (or half a portion, if that’s what fits into your macros) at a time.
