🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach (finely chopped)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chili flakes for heat
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare spinach
Wash and finely chop the spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water completely—this is key for crispy results.
Step 3: Mix ingredients
In a bowl, combine spinach, feta, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, garlic, olive oil, oregano, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Shape crisps
Scoop small portions (about 1–2 tablespoons) onto the baking sheet. Flatten into thin rounds using the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 6: Cool and serve
Let them cool for 5 minutes—they’ll crisp up more as they set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Crisps
- Remove as much moisture as possible from spinach to avoid soggy crisps.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overcrowd the tray—air circulation helps them crisp.
- For extra crunch, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
