Savory Spinach Parmesan Bites Recipes

SAVORY SPINACH PARMESAN BITES

Steps:

• In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onions and cook until the onions are translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
• In the meantime, remove excess water from thawed spinach by pressing it between paper towels. (The spinach does not need to be cooked.) In a large bowl, combine the stuffing mix, spinach, eggs, Parmesan, salt and pepper, and onion/garlic mixture. Combine well.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Wait about 15-20 minutes. This helps the stuffing mix to soften so it's easier to form the balls.
• One at a time, using your hands, roll the mixture into individual 1-inch balls. Place each one on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until very slightly browned.
