FAQs

What if I don’t have fresh spinach?

You can use thawed, well‑drained frozen spinach; just squeeze out excess moisture before mixing.

Can I make these gluten‑free?

Yes—this recipe is naturally gluten‑free (no flour needed), but always check cheese labels to be sure.

How do I keep them from falling apart?

Ensure cheeses are well combined and compress the patties slightly before baking.

Can I use only one type of cheese?

You can—but the mix of creamy mozzarella, tangy feta, and nutty Parmesan gives the best flavor and texture.

What dipping sauce pairs well?

Tzatziki, hummus, yogurt‑herb dip, or even a garlic‑lemon aioli are excellent choices.

Will they stick to the pan?

Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes—assemble patties and refrigerate before baking, or bake and store as noted above.

Any air‑fryer option?

Absolutely—air-fry at 375 °F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp.

How do I reheat them for guests?

Spread them out on a baking sheet and warm at 350 °F for 5–7 minutes—crispy and delicious.

Can I double the batch?

Yes—double ingredients and bake on two sheets, rotating halfway for even cooking.
