Our Spinach Balls, full of fresh spinach and cheese, are a quick, easy & gluten-free appetizer that's sure to be a hit with everyone at your next party.
6 cupsfresh spinach leaves(I like to buy the baby spinach as it's more tender)
4 large eggs
1cupcheddar cheese,grated
1cupgluten-free panko crumbs
1TablespoonItalian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet or two with parchment paper or a silpat.
Wash spinach well. Place leaves in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water & a little salt. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes. Immediately drain & place in ice water to stop cooking.
Squeeze all the excess water out of the spinach, then chop. Place back into bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form into balls. Place onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until nicely browned on top.
Serve immediately with ketchup, hummus or even pesto.
