By á-179627

Quick and easy vegetable appetizer using frozen chopped spinach, Parmesan, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, and spices. Great for snacks!

Ingredients

• 5 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup onion, diced finely
• 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 2 cups Italian-style seasoned bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a medium bowl, mix eggs with the spices. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (I used a cookie scoop).

Arrange the balls in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

Freeze any leftovers in a Ziploc bag in a single layer for future dinners/snacks.
