Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Dairy
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Vegetables and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup cooked spinach, drained and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
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 mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, finely chopped cooked spinach, sour cream, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Crisps: Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to prevent sticking. Flatten each mound slightly into round shapes using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crisps become firm and crispy.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them crisp up further.
- Serve or Store: Serve warm for the best texture and flavor, or store cooled crisps in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid soggy crisps caused by excess moisture.
- You can substitute cream cheese for sour cream to add a richer, creamier flavor.
- For extra crispiness, extend the baking time by a few minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
