Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Cheese grater (if using block feta)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Spoon or small cookie scoop
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach finely chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the crisps don’t stick and clean-up stays easy.
Step 2: Chop the spinach
- Place the fresh spinach on a cutting board and chop it finely. This helps it mix evenly into the batter and ensures each crisp gets a little green goodness.
Step 3: Mix the base
- In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic.
Step 4: Add the binders
- Add the egg, olive oil, and flour to the bowl. Sprinkle in oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Step 5: Stir everything together
- Mix the ingredients until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should hold together easily when scooped.
Step 6: Shape the crisps
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, place small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten them slightly to create crisp rounds.
Step 7: Add sesame seeds
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using. They add a light nutty crunch.
Step 8: Bake
- Bake for 16–18 minutes or until the edges turn golden and slightly crispy.
Step 9: Cool slightly
- Let the crisps rest for about 5 minutes before serving so they firm up slightly.
