Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Cooking Spray:
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for crisp preparation.
- Thoroughly blend spinach, feta, flour, Parmesan, eggs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Create small, uniform circular crisps by dropping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring consistent shape and thickness.
- Delicately mist the surface of each crisp with olive oil to promote a golden, crunchy exterior.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and firm texture.
- Allow the crisps to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes, which helps them set and develop a crisp consistency.
- Serve the Mediterranean spinach and feta crisps while still warm, perfect as a delightful appetizer or quick savory snack.
Notes
- Adjust the spinach moisture by gently squeezing out excess water to prevent soggy crisps and ensure a crispy texture.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like adding a touch of sharp cheddar or pecorino for complex flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delightful crunch and Mediterranean essence.
- Allow the crisps to cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their crisp texture and prevent sogginess from trapped steam.
