  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cheese-spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

  2. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

Nutritional Information and Dietary Notes:

These cheese crisps are a great low-carb, high-protein snack that also provides a dose of leafy greens. The combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and cream cheese delivers a rich, creamy taste while contributing to calcium intake. Spinach adds fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making these crisps a slightly more nutritious alternative to traditional cheese snacks. For those following a keto or gluten-free diet, these crisps are a fantastic option, as they contain no flour or breading. You can also customize them by using different cheeses or adding spices like paprika or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
