Ingredients
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a mix)
- ½ cup cooked spinach (fresh or frozen, well-drained and chopped)
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins:
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Form cheese bases: Place 1-tbsp mounds of shredded cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart.
- Add filling: Spoon a small amount of spinach mixture on top of each cheese mound. Sprinkle a little more shredded cheese over each to seal and crisp.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Cool: Let crisps cool for 3–5 minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Add artichokes: Mix in chopped marinated artichoke hearts for spinach-artichoke flavor.
- Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Cheese variations: Use cheddar, pepper jack, or a mozzarella-cheddar blend.
- Mini bites: Make smaller crisps for appetizers or charcuterie boards.
- Air fryer option: Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes until golden.
