Spinach and other yumminess. In a ball. Kids love these, even those kids that don’t like spinach. Perfect finger food!
Note: make sure you squeeze as much excess water from the spinach out as you can. It makes a difference in the end!
Put spinach in a bowl and break squeezed bits apart. Add beaten eggs, onion, butter, cheese, then croutons. Mix well. Chill mixture for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Form mixture into walnut-sized balls using your hands or a spoon (I prefer using my hands). Place balls on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly before removing to a plate for serving.
Recipe can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled. Store in the refrigerator if there are any left.

Yum! Yum! Made these and served them in pita with hummus and Greek quinoa salad. Delicious and we are not even vegetarian. I think I may save the leftovers and use them as a meatball substitute when I make pasta with red sauce. Do you think they will hold up?

I’m glad you liked them! I love the idea of pairing them with pita and hummus. I am thinking they wouldn’t hold up quite so well in place of meatballs in a sauce, but who knows! I think it’s worth trying

Thanks. I have never seen such a good idea for spinach. I adore spinach and can’t wait to try this out!
