Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup frozen spinach (thawed and well-drained)
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, 2 tbsp chopped artichokes, ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and spinach. Mix until smooth.
- On the prepared baking sheet, create small mounds of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (about 1 tbsp each), spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Top each cheese pile with a small spoonful of the spinach mixture. Sprinkle a little more shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring with a spatula.
Notes
- Use cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for a different cheese flavor.
- Add jalapeños, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
- Let crisps cool fully for maximum crunch and easy removal.
- Re-crisp leftovers in the oven or air fryer—avoid the microwave for best texture.
