Calories: 47kcal
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach leaves (I like to buy the baby spinach as it's more tender)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup gluten-free panko crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Italian 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.
