 (D) Dairy appetizers which can be prepared and frozen a week in advance.
INGREDIENTS:- 1 (16-ounce) package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup seasoned mini croutons
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon prepared crushed garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
PREPARATION:1. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius).
2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, place spinach, parmesan, onion, egg, croutons, butter, garlic and Tabasco.
Mix well.
5. Shape spinach mixture into 1-inch balls using hands or a melon baller.
6. Arrange on cookie sheet spaced 1 inch apart.
7. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15 minutes, until croutons are slightly golden.
TIP: Prepare this a week ahead of time by freezing tidbits after step 6. Freeze them on the cookie sheet overnight and in the morning transfer them to a sealable plastic bag for easier storage. Do not thaw them before baking; just increase baking time by 20 minutes.
YIELD: 6 servings
