Fritzie’s Spinach Balls

(Low carb version)

Ingredients:


  1. 2 10 oz packages of frozen spinach, cooked and drained

  2. 3 eggs, beaten well

  3. 1 Cup of crushed Wasa Crackers, about 15 crackers

  4. 1 Cup of almond meal

  5. 1 small onion, diced

  6. ¾ Cup of Butter (softened)

  7. ½ Cup of Parmesan Cheese

  8. ½ tsp salt

  9. ½ tsp garlic salt

  10. 1TBS Italian Seasoning

Method:


Mix well by hand, chill spinach batter for an hour in the refrigerator.  Preheat oven to 350. Make balls about the size of a walnut and place on a baking sheet about an inch apart.  Bake for 15 minutes.



The way Auntie Fritzie does it:


Instead of Almond Meal and Wasa Crackers she uses 2Cups of crushed stuffing mix.  Also she uses ½ tsp of Thyme rather than 1TBS Italian Seasonings.


The changes that I made to this recipe had to do with wanting to lower the carb count and the simple fact that I had no Thyme when I made it; but I knew that there was Thyme in my Italian Seasonings and I knew that a “stuffing mix” would also have herbs in it that are in my Italian Seasonings.  In any case the result was delicious and I keep getting requests for the recipe!
