Spinach Balls

I am always looking for tasty, meatless hors d'oeuvres. This easy to make dish tastes so good that even carnivores enjoy & come back for seconds!




Serves: 20 (3 Pieces per guest)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes for each cookie sheet

Ingredients:
2        10 oz packages of Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and drained
3.5c    Herb Seasoned Stuffing Mix or Seasoned Bread Crumbs
6         Large Eggs - beaten
1         small onion, diced
1c       grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2c    Butter, softened
1tsp    Garlic Powder
1tsp    Ground Black Pepper

1.  Preheat conventional oven to 400 degrees. Spray 2 large cookie sheets with non stick spray
2.  In a large bowl mix stuffing mix, butter, Parmesan, pepper, garlic & onion
3.  Then mix in beaten eggs
4.  Stir in spinach
5.  With a tablespoon, scoop mixture into palm of hand and roll into balls & place on prepared cookie sheet.
6.  Spinach balls should not touch. They don't spread like dough so they can be placed very close to each other.
7. Bake for 10 minutes or until they are firm to touch
ENJOY!

Keep these on hand! Make this recipe and freeze spinach balls for up to a month. Pop in the microwave for 10-15 seconds per spinach ball.

Use this recipe as a stuffing for boneless chicken breasts or the fish of your choice. Follow steps 1 - 4 & place in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
