Kate's Quick Bites: Spinach Balls

The perfect little quarantine appetizer.

• 1 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach (cooked, cooled, and squeezed dry)
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated or powdered)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 6 tbsp. butter, softened
• Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together until well combined. Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut. Freeze on a cookie sheet until firm.
When you’re ready to serve them, place frozen spinach balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or lightly browned. This recipe makes about 18-24 spinach balls, but the recipe is easily doubled. And they freeze really well!

Once the spinach balls are frozen sold, you can store them in a zip top bag in the freezer and bake them off whenever you like.
