🧀 Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps
Crispy. Cheesy. Loaded with creamy spinach dip flavor.
✅ Ingredients (Makes ~12 crisps)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella
-
½ cup shredded Parmesan (or cheddar, if you prefer)
-
½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
-
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
-
1 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
-
1 garlic clove, minced (or ¼ tsp garlic powder)
-
¼ tsp onion powder
-
Salt & black pepper, to taste
-
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not wax paper) or use a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix the Spinach Dip Filling
In a small bowl, combine:
-
Spinach (make sure it’s very well squeezed dry)
-
Cream cheese
-
Sour cream
-
Garlic
-
Onion powder
-
Salt & pepper
-
Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Assemble the Cheese Crisps
-
On the lined baking sheet, create small piles of shredded mozzarella & Parmesan (about 1 tbsp per crisp).
-
Flatten them slightly into circles.
-
Add ½ to 1 tsp of spinach dip mixture to the center of each cheese pile.
-
Optional: Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top.
4. Bake
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
-
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes — they’ll crisp up as they cool.
5. Serve & Enjoy
-
Serve warm or at room temperature.
-
Great on their own or with low-carb dipping sauces like ranch, salsa, or marinara.
🧊 Storage
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, or in the fridge for 3–4 days.

To re-crisp: Warm in a toaster oven or skillet for a few minutes.
🔄 Variations
-
Add bacon bits or chopped artichokes to the filling.
-
Use cheddar or pepper jack for a sharper flavor.
-
Turn it into a full tray-bake: make a large cheese base, add the spinach dip on top, bake, and slice into squares.
