Step 1: Create the Spinach Dip Mixture

Begin by mixing cream cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl. Once smooth, fold in the spinach, Parmesan, garlic, and onion powder. Add salt and pepper to taste. This creamy filling is the heart of your crisps, so make sure it’s well-blended.

Tip: Use paper towels or a cheesecloth to squeeze out as much water as possible from the spinach. This prevents soggy crisps.

Step 2: Form the Cheese Rounds

Next, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Combine cheddar and Parmesan in a bowl. Scoop a tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the tray and gently flatten into circles. Leave at least 2 inches between each round.

Step 3: Add the Filling

Now, place a teaspoon of the spinach dip in the center of each cheese round. Sprinkle a little extra shredded cheese on top to cover the dip and help it melt into the base.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. The crisps are ready when the edges are bubbly and golden brown. Allow them to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.
