- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, thawed spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.
-
Spoon small mounds of shredded cheddar cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and bubbly.
-
Let cool on the pan for a few minutes to allow them to crisp up before serving.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze all excess moisture from the spinach to avoid soggy bites.
- Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.
- Add red pepper flakes for heat for a heartier option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
- Avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
