Spinach and cheese are so good together. I make sure that these balls are small since they are dense. I have also made these flat so that they can sit on a cracker or chip.
Ingredients
- 2 boxes Birds Eye Frozen Spinach chopped
- 2 cups breadcrumbs (see recipe)
- 1 large onion, chopped fine
- 3 oz. Bel Gioioso Grated Parmesan
- 4 Wilcox eggs – beaten
- ¾ cup melted Tillamook butter
- Morton Iodized Salt/McCormick Ground Black pepper to taste
Directions
Thaw and drain spinach, do not cook. Mix breadcrumbs with spinach. then all the ingredients. Chill in refrigerator.
When cold, form into 1-inch balls. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees. Sprinkle Spinach Cheese with Romano cheese while hot. Makes about 40 appetizers.
