Spinach Parmesan Balls

By ozzie

Ingredients

• 1 pound package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 5 eggs
• 1 large onion, minced
• 10 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 3/4 cups Italian-style bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Squeeze the excess water from the spinach and put it in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well by hand.* Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, either by hand or with a small ice cream scoop. Place the balls closely together on a baking sheet.

Cook in the top half of the oven until firm to the touch, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, and then transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

* Cook's Note: Wearing latex gloves while mixing and forming the balls is suggested.
