directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

In another bowl, mix together mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

Spoon small mounds of the shredded cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each slightly into a circle.

Top each cheese mound with a small dollop of the spinach dip mixture.

Sprinkle a bit more mozzarella and parmesan on top to seal in the filling.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Let the crisps cool for a few minutes to firm up before serving.
