    This recipe for Spinach Balls is easy and makes a great meatless option for gatherings! Easy Spinach Balls - A great meatless offering for gatherings and a favorite snack of the kiddos!

    Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse…a “super food”. So of course for me to like it I need to disguise it!!
    Think spinach dip or artichoke and spinach dipm THAT is how I like my spinach. I make my sauteed spinach with a ton of garlic and a splash of balsamic vinegar…see what I mean…I need to hide the spinach taste!

    Anyway, a couple of years ago I was fooling around with ingredients to make spinach balls that I would eat…they were ok…then my friend Amanda made them but she added in Muenster cheese…and that made all the difference…I love these!! Yeah Amanda!!

    You can make a ton of Spinach Balls, transport them and cook on site wherever you are going. You can freeze them in batches and just pull out for a quick app for drop by company.

    They are so stinking easy…that when the mood strikes a few minutes in your kitchen yields a tasty treat and the perk…antioxidants and a ton of vitamins!! Kids like Spinach Balls too!

    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
    1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
    1 TBS onion powder
    4 ounces Muenster cheese, ripped into small pieces
    Pinch or salt and pepper
    1/4 tsp garlic salt
    3 eggs, beaten

    Roll into 1-inch balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to cook.

      These look delicious! If I wanted to try a different cheese, what would you suggest?

      Wow! What a smart idea! I made regular meatballs last night and instead of bread crumbs I crushed almonds and oatmeal and used them instead, and it worked very well!!

      This looks great. I've tried it with fresh parmesan instead of muenster but I'd like to try the muenster. You can also used stovetop stuffing mix instead of breadcrumbs, although I bet it would rock if you used panko crumbs….?!

      Have you tried with cooked fresh spinach?? For example if I took fresh spinach and cooked it down with a little olive oil do you think that would work too?

          As long as it isn’t too wet, I can’t see why not.

      Do you recommend keeping the already cooked spinach balls in a crock pot to keep warm?

        Hi Mimi, I honestly can’t say. They typically disappear once out of the oven. I have zero experience with crockpots believe it or not, so I defer to your judgment.
