Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Hummus or tzatziki for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release and cleanup.
🔹 Step 2: Mix the Crisps
In a medium mixing bowl, combine:
- Chopped spinach
- Feta cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Olive oil
- Garlic powder
- Dried oregano
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Stir until the mixture is well combined and evenly coated.
🔹 Step 3: Shape the Crisps
Scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Use the back of a spoon to flatten each mound into a thin disc, about 2 inches wide.
Leave space between each crisp—they will spread slightly.
🔹 Step 4: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Watch closely in the last minute—they go from golden to dark fast.
🔹 Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the crisps cool on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
Gently transfer to a plate and serve as is, or top your favorite salad or soup for crunch and flavor.
Tips for Success
- Dry the spinach well before chopping to avoid excess moisture.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overbake: They crisp as they cool—pull them when golden around the edges.
- Customize with your favorite herbs or cheeses—go Greek with dill or add sun-dried tomatoes!
