Ingredients

Scale

Cheese & Dairy

1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Vegetables & Herbs

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

Spices & Seasonings

1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add the chopped fresh spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a uniform mixture.
Form the Crisps: Using a spoon, scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the cheese and spinach mixture. Place the portions onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart to allow space for spreading. Gently flatten each portion with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form thin discs.
Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Bake until the edges are lightly golden and the crisps have a firm, crispy texture. For even baking, rotate the tray halfway through the baking time.
Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely if you prefer a crunchier texture. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tasty snack or appetizer.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you may bake a few minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
Stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but are best enjoyed fresh.
You can add herbs like dill or chives for a flavor twist.
To keep the crisps gluten-free, ensure your garlic and onion powder are naturally gluten-free varieties.
