Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped Vibrant and nutritious, the spinach brings a burst of color and health benefits.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Melty and gooey, this cheese adds that wonderful base of cheesiness we all adore.
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese With its nutty flavor, Parmesan complements the mozzarella exquisitely.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder To infuse a savory aroma and depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Just the right amount to enhance the overall taste.
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning Bringing herbaceous notes that elevate the dish.
  • 1 large egg (optional) This ingredient can be mixed in if you desire a little extra crunch.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine finely chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning. Mix in a beaten egg if using.
  • Spoon small portions of the spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly for even cooking.

Cooking

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the bites are crispy and golden brown.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy on their own or with your favorite sauce!

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from spinach for crispiness. Try red pepper flakes for added spice. You can use different cheeses for variations.
