Spinach Balls Appetizer

My mother has made these little Spinach Balls as a holiday appetizer for her annual Christmas party for as many years back as I can remember. They’re an easy little bite to put together and they’re always a bit hit at her party.

Spinach Balls

Yield: About 40 appetizers

Prep Time:20 minutes + refrigeration time

Cook Time:20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 (10 ounce packages) frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
1 cup dried boxed stuffing mix (crumbled)
4 large eggs
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup melted butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

In a medium sized bowl, mix spinach with remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Roll into 1-inch balls (you should be able to create about 40). Place onto cookie sheets.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm.

Tips:

*These freeze well. Just pop them into the oven while frozen and they should bake up just fine. *I can't help wondering what it would be like to add finely chopped sundried tomato to these spinach balls. Sounds like a good idea to me 🙂
