How to make Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix together all cheeses, thawed spinach (squeeze out excess water), garlic, onion powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Step 3: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 5: Let crisps cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 6: Serve alone as a snack or with dips like ranch, sour cream, or marinara.
