Need an app fast? Try these spinach balls

These spinach balls are an easy and quick appetizer for the holiday season.  In fact they’re so simple I keep a few boxes of spinach handy in the case of unexpected company or to use as a side with dinner.  

Ingredients:

2 – 10 ounce boxes of chopped frozen spinach

¾ cup of Veggie Parmesan Cheese Alternative

1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard

½ Tablespoon of dried mustard

1 cup of breadcrumbs, preferably panko

4 Tablespoons of Smart Balance – light or regular

3 eggs

1)      Defrost spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible

2)      Mix spinach and all ingredients together.  Don’t be shy – using your (freshly washed) hands is the easiest way to do this

3)      Form mixture into golf sized balls – lay out on a baking sheet that has been thoroughly sprayed with non-stick spray.

4)      Bake for approximately 30 minutes until slightly browned, remove and serve with mustard.
