Print Recipe

Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps are a delightful snack combining the fresh earthiness of spinach with the tangy creaminess of feta cheese, baked to a golden, crispy perfection. They are quick to prepare, made with simple wholesome ingredients, and offer a healthy, savory crunch perfect for casual snacking, parties, or elegant appetizers.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Spinach – 2 cups, finely chopped
  • Feta Cheese – 1 cup, crumbled
  • Egg Whites – 2 large
  • Grated Parmesan – 1/2 cup
  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon

Optional Herbs

  • Fresh Dill or Oregano – 1 tablespoon, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach: Begin by washing the spinach thoroughly and patting it dry. Chop the leaves finely to help them blend seamlessly into the mixture and avoid excess moisture in the crisps.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach with crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, egg whites, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and any optional herbs. Stir gently to form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Form Crisps: Using a spoon, scoop small dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly into disc shapes—this ensures even baking and maximum crispiness.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the tray in a preheated oven set to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the crisps to cool on the tray for a few minutes so they firm up further. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture.

Notes

  • Dry Spinach Thoroughly: Excess moisture might make the crisps soggy, so be sure to squeeze out water after washing.
  • Use Fresh Cheese: Fresh feta and Parmesan will deliver better flavor and texture than pre-grated or processed versions.
  • Uniform Size: Keeping the crisps the same size ensures they bake evenly.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Leave space between the crisps on the baking sheet for proper air circulation and crispiness.
  • Cool Completely: Let them cool on a wire rack if possible to keep texture crisp after baking.
