🛒 Ingredients
For the Cheese Crisps:
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2️⃣ Sauté the Spinach:
- In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the chopped spinach with a splash of oil or water for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Let it cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture using a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
3️⃣ Mix the Dip Base:
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and sautéed spinach.
- Stir until everything is fully mixed and creamy.
4️⃣ Make the Crisps:
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each mound into a thin disc — about 2½ inches wide.
5️⃣ Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
- Let the crisps cool on the pan for a few minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.
✅ Tips for Success
- Don’t skip draining the spinach: Extra moisture can make the crisps soggy instead of crisp.
- Want extra crunch? Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top of each crisp before baking.
- Mini version: Make smaller crisps for bite-sized party snacks!
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with ranch dip, marinara sauce, or enjoy them as-is!
- They’re great crumbled over salads, paired with soup, or packed in lunchboxes.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4–5 days.
- To re-crisp, place them back in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.
