Ingredients

  • 2-10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 10 tablespoons margarine, melted
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 2 cups Italian-style bread crumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Squeeze the excess water from the spinach and put it in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well by hand.* Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, either by hand or with a small ice cream scoop. Place the balls closely together on a baking sheet.
Cook in the top half of the oven until firm to the touch, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, and then transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
* Cook's Note:
Wearing latex gloves while mixing and forming the balls is suggested
You could make the mixture the night before and form balls and cook the next day.
