Spinach Stuffing Bites

     I really like this recipe! A friend of mine had the most beautiful baby shower over the weekend and I whipped up some spinach bites to add to the array of delicious hors d'oeuvres. They are great on their own or you could serve them with a dipping sauce. I may try them with a marinara sauce or some ranch the next time I make them!

Spinach Stuffing Bites

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of butter

- 1 small onion, chopped

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 2 (10 ounce) packages of frozen chopped spinach, thawed

- 1 (8 ounce) package of herb seasoned stuffing mix

- 6 large eggs

- 1 cup of grated pamesan cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon of ground back pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and saute for a few more minutes, until fragrant. Set aside and let cool. Rinse the thawed spinach in a fine colander and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, stuffing mix, eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and onion mixture. Mix it all together. I like to let it sit for a few minutes to allow the stuffing mix to soak up all of the moisture. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake on a greased baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
