Ingredients
Scale
Cheeses:
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Primary Ingredient:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
Seasonings and Oil:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the baking surface by lining a sheet with parchment paper and heating the oven to 375F (190C).
- Create a savory blend by thoroughly mixing spinach, feta, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Carefully distribute small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, gently pressing each mound into thin, circular shapes with about an inch of separation between them.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for golden edges and bubbling cheese that indicates perfect crispness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to rest and firm up for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a serving plate.
- For optimal texture and flavor, serve immediately while still warm and slightly crisp around the edges.
Notes
- Swap cheeses easily for dietary needs by using dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast or vegan cheese blends.
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly dried after chopping to prevent excess moisture from making crisps soggy.
- Experiment with additional herbs like thyme or basil to customize flavor profiles and enhance Mediterranean taste.
- Create uniform crisps by using a small ice cream scoop or measured tablespoon for consistent sizing and even cooking.
