- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cups cream cheese, softened
Vegetable Mixture
- 0.5 cups cooked spinach, drained and chopped
- 0.25 cups sour cream

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Mix until the cheeses are well incorporated.
- Add the cooked spinach, sour cream, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form round discs.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese crisps are golden brown and slightly bubbly around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Make sure to drain the spinach well to avoid excess moisture which can make the crisps soggy. Experiment with different cheeses or add your favorite herbs for extra flavor. Keep an eye on the baking time; ovens can vary, so check for that golden-brown color. You can customize these cheese crisps by adding cooked bacon bits, sun-dried tomatoes, or artichokes to the mixture.
