Place onto cookie sheets.Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm.
Notes
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!
