Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Spinach Mix
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the chopped fresh spinach along with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is homogenous and evenly blended.
- Form the Crisps: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and place each on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help the crisps cook evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Watch for the crisps to turn lightly golden brown and become crispy around the edges. Halfway through baking, rotate the tray to ensure even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Flattening the crisps is important for even baking and achieving the perfect crispy texture.
- These crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
- You can add finely chopped herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, increase the garlic powder slightly or add a pinch of fresh minced garlic.
