Hello, thought I would share a great appetizer recipe with you. It's perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Your friends and family are sure to be impressed with your culinary skills!
Spinach Balls
2 pkgs frozen spinach (10 oz each)
2 C seasoned croutons
1 C grated Parmesan cheese
½ C melted butter
Minced green onions to taste (3-5)
3 eggs
Nutmeg to taste or ½ tsp five spice powder
Cook spinach according to package directions, drain and press out moisture. Beat eggs; add crushed croutons (I use my food processor), cheese, onions, nutmeg and butter. Add spinach and mix thoroughly, mold into 1-inch balls. Arrange balls on a flat cookie sheet, cover and freeze or chill if being served same day. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees; 5-10 minutes longer if frozen. Bake until edges start to brown.
Serve with: Ginger Mustard Dipping Sauce
2 1-inch pieces peeled fresh gingerroot
2 garlic cloves
¼ C sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
2 Tbsp catsup
2 tbsp water
1 tsp dry mustard
½ tsp sesame oil
Use blender or food processor to mince ginger and garlic. Add remaining ingredients and blend for 30 seconds. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Keeps at least one month.

Great recipe, Cathy! I have made this for parties, family gatherings, etc. A GREAT party food. The best part is that the sauce lasts a long time in the fridge and you can freeze the spinach balls and pull them out right before an event or an impromptu get-together (freeze them on a baking sheet before you cook them, once frozen, you can stick them in ziploc bags!)
I can vouch for the deliciousness of these spinach balls. I think I ate 10 at Christina's last party.
