Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the chopped spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Form Crisps: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Gently flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form crisp morsels.
- Top with Cheddar: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each spoonful of mixture to add an extra layer of cheesy flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before serving. Enjoy these crispy, savory snacks warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can omit the red pepper flakes if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to help mix ingredients easily.
- These crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated for crispiness.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to customize the flavor profile.
- Use fresh spinach for best texture and flavor; frozen spinach, if used, should be thoroughly drained and patted dry.
