Here’s a simple, crowd-pleasing recipe for Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps—perfect as an appetizer or light snack 🫒
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped (optional)
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 24–30 crackers, pita chips, or baguette slices
Instructions
- Prep the spinach
Sauté the chopped spinach in a small pan with a little olive oil over medium heat until wilted (about 1–2 minutes). Let cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture. - Make the topping
In a bowl, mix spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic, oregano, herbs, and black pepper until well combined. - Assemble
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange crackers or bread slices on a baking sheet and spoon the spinach–feta mixture evenly on top. - Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the topping is warm and slightly golden. - Serve
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve warm.
Optional Variations
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or Kalamata olives for extra Mediterranean flavor
- Sprinkle a little mozzarella or parmesan on top for a crispier finish
- Use phyllo cups instead of crackers for an elegant party version
