Ingredients

    1 pound pkg frozen chopped spinace, thawed
    5 eggs
    1 large onion, minced (or onion powder)
    10 T butter (nutritional info is for Earth's Balance)
    1 1/4 C shredded Parmesan cheese
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    3/4 t dried thyme leaves
    3/4 t cayenne pepper
    1 1/2 C Italian style bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat over 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 (I found letting this chill for about 20 minutes helps with the forming of the balls).
Place the balls closely together on a baking sheet.

Cook in the top half of the oven until firm to the touch, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

Makes about 65 balls, serving size is 5 balls. Nutritional info uses Earth's Balance instead of Butter and is about 40 calories per ball.
