 Ingredients (12–15 crisps)

• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (sheep or sheep-goat mix is best)
• ½ cup mozzarella, finely shredded (for binding)

1️⃣ Prep

• Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper

2️⃣ Prep the Spinach (Very Important)

Mix gently—do not mash feta completely.

  • Edges are deep golden
  • Centers are bubbling

6️⃣ Cool = Crisp

• Let cool 10 minutes on tray
  (They harden as they cool)

 Q & A

Q1: Why add mozzarella?

Feta alone melts too fast—mozzarella adds structure and crisp edges.

Q2: Can I air-fry these?

Yes:

• 180°C / 360°F
• 6–8 minutes
• Check at 5 minutes

Q3: My crisps are soft—why?

• Spinach wasn’t dry
• Crisps were too thick
• Not cooled long enough

Q4: How long do they stay crisp?

• Room temp: 24 hours (airtight)
• Re-crisp in oven 3–4 minutes if needed

Q5: Keto-friendly?

 Yes—very low carb
