I first tried these spinach balls when one of my mom’s friends made them. She was a gourmet cook and caterer, but I was a bit hesitant… as any kid would be! Despite my weariness, the flavors and “fun” in every bite won me over. Immediate fan right here!

This spinach balls preparation is one of my family's favorite ways to eat vegetables.

Ingredients

2 (10-oz) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 cups stuffing mix or fresh breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 eggs
3/4 cup softened butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Drain the spinach thoroughly and squeeze dry with paper towels.
Combine the spinach, stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and softened butter into a mixing bowl. Roll into balls the size of walnuts and freeze for several hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Let the balls sit out about 15 minutes before baking. Place them on a baking sheet. (They should still be partially frozen.)
Bake 10 minutes.

Packed with nutrient-dense spinach, this little appetizer is actually pretty healthy. The parmesan cheese adds a kick and the breadcrumbs really enhance the whole recipe—making them a total crowd-pleaser! Another great thing about them? You likely already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen.
