Mediterranean Spinach & Feta Cheese Crisps
Ingredients:
For the Cheese Crisps:
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup cream cheese (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version), softened
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch of sea salt (adjust to taste; feta is already salty)
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill
Directions:
1. Prep Ingredients:
Finely chop the spinach and set it aside.
Make sure the cream cheese (or yogurt) is softened to mix easily.
2. Mix the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Add in chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, pepper, and salt.
Stir until everything is well blended and evenly mixed.
3. Form the Crisps:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture per crisp onto the sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
Flatten gently with a spoon or fingers.
4. Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and slightly crispy.
Rotate the tray halfway through for even cooking.
5. Cool & Serve:
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with hummus, tzatziki, roasted red pepper dip, or alongside soups and salads.
