Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps Ingredients
- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan. Stir in the chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, making sure the mixture is evenly blended.
- Form the Crisps: Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the mixture and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each portion with the back of a spoon or your fingers for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crisps turn lightly golden brown and crispy around the edges. Rotate the baking tray halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flatten the crisps thoroughly before baking.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture; frozen spinach can be substituted if thawed and drained well.
- These crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs or spices such as parsley or black pepper for variation.
- To make this recipe vegetarian-friendly, verify that the Parmesan cheese used is free from animal rennet.
