🧀🌿 Mediterranean Spinach & Feta Cheese Crisps
Crispy, cheesy, and packed with Mediterranean flavor — perfect as an appetizer, snack, or low-carb bite!
📝 Ingredients (Makes about 12–15 crisps)
-
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or ½ cup frozen, well-drained)
-
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella (helps bind)
-
1 large egg
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
¼ tsp dried oregano
-
Optional: pinch red pepper flakes
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If using frozen spinach, squeeze out ALL excess moisture (very important for crispiness).
2️⃣ Mix
In a bowl, combine:
-
Spinach
-
Feta
-
Mozzarella
-
Egg
-
Olive oil
-
Garlic
-
Seasonings
Mix until fully combined.
3️⃣ Shape
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and place onto baking sheet.
Flatten slightly into small rounds (about 2–3 inches wide).
Leave space between each.
4️⃣ Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and crisp.
For extra crispiness:
Broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch carefully).
5️⃣ Cool
Let cool 5 minutes — they firm up as they cool.
🔥 Pro Tips
-
For extra crunch: add 1–2 tbsp grated Parmesan.

Want thicker bites? Bake in mini muffin tin.
-
Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra Mediterranean flavor.
-
A sprinkle of sesame seeds before baking adds texture.
❓ Q & A
Q1: Can I make them low-carb or keto?
They already are! Very low in carbs and high in protein.
Q2: Can I air fry them?
Yes — 350°F for 8–10 minutes. Check early.
Q3: Why are mine soft instead of crispy?
Spinach likely had too much moisture. Drain very well next time.
Q4: How do I store them?
Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
Q5: Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze after baking and reheat directly from frozen at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
