Description
A delightfully crunchy and savory low-carb snack, combining the creamy flavors of spinach dip with crispy baked cheese.
Ingredients
4 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the finely chopped fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of the spinach dip mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each dollop. Flatten each dollop slightly with the back of the spoon to form a thin, even circle (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. The crisps will firm up as they cool.
Step 6: Carefully remove the crisps from the baking sheet using a spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little everything bagel seasoning or smoked paprika over the crisps before baking. Ensure the spinach is well-drained to prevent soggy crisps.
