(Note: The full ingredient list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This will help the cheese crisps bake up perfectly without sticking.
2. Prepare the Spinach Dip Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and chopped spinach. Mix until smooth and well combined. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Set this mixture aside.
3. Form the Cheese Crisps: On your prepared baking sheet, spoon small mounds of the shredded cheddar cheese. Use about 1-2 tablespoons per mound, and space them about 2 inches apart. Lightly press them down to flatten slightly.
4. Bake the Cheese Crisps: Place the cheese mounds in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
5. Add the Spinach Dip: Once the cheese crisps are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven. Using a spoon, place a small dollop of the spinach dip mixture on top of each cheese crisp.
6. Bake Again: Place the cheese crisps with spinach dip back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the dip is heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and then serve! These crisps are best enjoyed fresh and warm, with the cheesy, spinach-filled goodness right on top.
