- Spatula
Ingredients
For Cheese Crisps:
- 2 cups finely shredded Parmesan or cheddar
- Optional: ½ tsp paprika or garlic powder for flavor
For Spinach Dip:
- 1 cup cream cheese (or sour cream/Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup thawed and drained spinach (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Spinach Dip: Mix cream cheese, spinach, shredded cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Chill or warm as desired.
- Make Cheese Crisps: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place small mounds (1–2 tbsp) of shredded cheese on the sheet, spaced apart. Flatten slightly.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly on the sheet before removing.
- Top with Dip: Spoon spinach dip onto each crisp. Garnish with herbs or chili flakes.
- Serve: Arrange on a platter and enjoy immediately.
- Tip: Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner presentation.
Notes
- Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid watery dip.
- Parmesan yields the crispiest base, while cheddar adds bold flavor.
- Add-ins like jalapeños, feta, or olives can create fun variations.
- Best served fresh—store briefly in the fridge, but avoid freezing.
- Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
