This recipe is always a hit for any occasion. People just flock to these flavorful little spinach balls. Easy to prepare and the perfect appetizer to make in advance and freeze for whenever! My kids love these! Ingredients:
2 (10 oz.) pkgs chopped spinach |
2 1/2c. pepperidge farm (fine herb) stuffing mix |
1 c. pecorino romano cheese (or parm) |
6 eggs |
1 sm. onion fine chopped |
2 lg cloves of garlic minced |
1/2 c. softened butter |
1/2 tsp. crushed thyme leaves |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Cook and drain spinach... (I like to remove the paper on the box and place the box of spinach on a microwave safe plate and cook for 5 1/2 minutes...the spinach then just needs to be removed from the box and drained well.....easy!
2. Combine all the ingredients except the spinach and the stuffing...blend well.
3. Add the drained cooled spinach and blend thoroughly.
4. Add the stuffing and mix together.
5. Form into 1 inch balls and place on a lined cookie sheet ( I like to use a cookie scoop)
6. Freeze until they are hard.
7. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes until slightly browned.
8. Serve and enjoy!
9. Note~~~ If you do not want to bake at this point, after the spinach balls are frozen, I place them into a zip-lock freezer bag, pop into the freezer and remove as many as I want or need when needed.
10. I got 55 spinach balls out of this recipe today....
