Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Silicone spatula or spoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Cheese grater (if using block cheese)
- Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked spinach well drained
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the spinach
- If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Excess water can prevent the crisps from becoming crunchy.
Step 3: Mix the dip
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add spinach and cheese
- Fold in the chopped spinach, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese until everything is evenly combined.
Step 5: Portion the mixture
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to place small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each mound because the cheese will spread slightly while baking.
Step 6: Bake
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Cool slightly
- Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them firm up and become perfectly crisp.
