Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the crisps.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Crisps: Scoop small mounds of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Gently flatten each mound slightly to ensure even cooking and crisping.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crisps turn golden brown and are bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully lift them from the baking sheet and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flatten the mounds thinly before baking.
- You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach; just be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Feel free to add herbs like fresh basil or thyme for additional flavor variations.
- These crisps are best enjoyed within a few hours of baking as they may soften over time.
