Ingredients

▢ 1 stick unsalted butter
▢ 1 small onion (chopped (about ½ cup))
▢ 1 clove garlic (minced)
▢ 2 10- ounce packages frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
▢ 1 8 oz. bag herbed seasoned stuffing mix
▢ 6 large eggs
▢ 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
▢ salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

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.

Notes

Some ideas for dipping sauces: marinara, ranch dressing, sour cream, horseradish etc.
