Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the cream cheese by softening it at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Mix with shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan until creamy and well-combined.
  2. Finely chop and pat dry the spinach. Fold into the cheese mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to taste.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet and flatten slightly.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. They are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers look bubbly.
  5. Let the crisps cool on the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
