Spinach Balls

Ingredients:

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages of chopped spinach
  • 2 ½ cups stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Thyme to taste (optional)
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 onion, minced
  • Nutmeg to taste (optional)
  • Nonstick spray
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray cookie sheet with Pam.
  • Cook spinach according to the package directions.
  • Squeeze out water.
  • Melt butter
  • Combine remaining ingredients with spinach and roll into bite size balls.
  • Bake for 20 minutes on cookie sheet.
  • Serve hot.
**These can be frozen after baking. Reheat at 400 degrees until hot.
 
Side Notes: I don't use any butter and I use 2 eggs & 2 egg whites.  The mixture already has enough moisture to hold them together in balls so you don't need additional fat unless you want it!!  Also, I always add roasted red peppers...adds some color & flavor, and is very festive for the Christmas season.
