Ingredients

| Crumbled feta cheese | 1/2 cup |
| All-purpose flour | 1/4 cup |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |

Instructions
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment with olive oil spray to ensure the crisps don’t stick.
-
Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of large flour lumps.
-
Incorporate Greens and Cheese: Fold in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and grated Parmesan. Stir until the spinach is evenly coated by the egg and flour mixture.
-
Form the Crisps: Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet for each crisp. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them slightly into rounds.
-
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. You are looking for the edges to be golden brown and the centers to be set and slightly firm.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes to help them firm up further. Serve warm or at room temperature.

How do I store and reheat these?
-
Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
-
Reheating: To maintain the “crisp” texture, reheat them in a toaster oven or an air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes. Avoid the microwave, as it will make them soft and chewy.
Can I make these gluten-free?
-
Yes! You can easily swap the all-purpose flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour or even almond flour. If using almond flour, the texture may be slightly softer but still delicious.
Serving Suggestions
-
The Perfect Dip: These pair beautifully with a side of tzatziki (cucumber yogurt dip) or a simple red pepper hummus.
-
Salad Garnish: Instead of croutons, crumble these over a Greek salad for an extra boost of protein and flavor.
Expert Tips
-
Squeeze the Spinach: If your fresh spinach is very damp after washing, pat it thoroughly dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture can make the batter too thin and prevent the crisps from getting that golden edge.
-
Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh oregano or dill on hand, feel free to substitute them for the dried version to add a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
