These Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Cheese Crisps are savory, cheesy bites baked to golden perfection. Packed with spinach, herbs, and three types of cheese, they’re an easy, gluten-free snack or appetizer that delivers bold Mediterranean flavor in every crunchy bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the spinach and cheese mixture. Mix until combined.
- Add almond flour gradually and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in sun-dried tomatoes and olives, if using.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and tops are set.
- Cool for a few minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use well-drained frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available.
- Add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
- For a nut-free version, use oat flour or ground sunflower seeds instead of almond flour.
- Do not microwave to reheat—use the oven to keep them crisp.
- Make smaller versions for party appetizers; reduce bake time slightly.
