Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Spinach Mixture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, thawed and drained spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Form Crisps: Spoon small mounds of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading while baking.
- Bake: Bake the crisps in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crisps become crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the cheese crisps cool slightly on the baking sheet so they firm up before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to avoid excess moisture that can prevent the crisps from becoming crispy.
- For extra flavor, you can add herbs such as dried oregano or basil to the mixture.
- Let the crisps cool completely if you prefer an even crunchier texture.
- These crisps store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your spice preference or omit them for a milder flavor.
