Parmesan Spinach Balls

So much better than the stuffing mix recipe

I would make these again. I used some shredded mozzarella, too, and that worked out well. Probably would be good with some marinara on the side to dip.

I made this appetizer for my Book Club, which is really a girl’s night out and they loved it!! I added extra ingredients as I always do on any recipe. I added 2.5 big garlic cloves finely chopped. Worcestershire, ,Tabasco sauce, and red pepper (Cayenne pepper} for a kick I didn’t measure as I hardly ever do, but I added probably 2 tablespoons of the sauces or more, good bit of the red pepper. .Also added some Mexican shredded cheese as I had some to use up, maybe a cups worth, 1 extra egg and little more bread crumbs {I always make my own…so easy…you should do it!}. I guess I should post as my own new recipe! Make sure you use the green part of the scallions too. I think I will use red pepper flakes next time for even more color. Let me know if you use my recipe!! Seriously, everyone wanted my recipe version and I had no leftovers!! Enjoy!!.

The recipe was delicious but I was surprised how much butter it called for. Much of it was on my sheet pan at the end. Next time I make them, I will reduce the butter. Got rave reviews!!

I will make this again and again! I would add more spice, cayenne, paprika and minced garlic to the mix.

This was a great hit at a happy hour gathering. I added a little greek seasoning to the mix.

Made 1/2 of the recipes (serves 5). I used just slightly less than 1/2 the recommended breadcrumbs. Used fresh spinach and put a large bunch in a hot pan to wilt. This is better than frozen since it was not watery at all. I added 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Rolled the balls in extra parmesan cheese as someone suggested. Baked for 15 minutes and it came out perfect! Next time I’ll use pretzel sticks to hold them which is a great idea.

I really like this recipe, I changed it up a bit. Instead of bread crumbs I used a box of herb stuffing mix broken up, added 2 more eggs, and use 1 small white onion. I made almost 60 balls and they disappeared quickly at the party. I had to write the recipe out numerous times.

Yummy

I didn’t do salt and pepper. I did do ADOBO seasoning. Still, it needs something…I felt it was lacking something…maybe next time I’ll put minced garlic and either red pepper flakes or Texas Pete hot sauce to zip it up next time.

Made these, so quick and easy….brought them to a gathering, and most everyone liked them. I added more Italian and garlic spices to the mix for more flavor.

Excellent recipe! Note: I made this at over 4,000 ft altitude and had to cook them for 30 minutes instead of 15, just like other dishes. Excellent taste!

Made them 2x. First time followed the recipe and they were just ok. Second time added in curry, chopped garlic and cayenne. Kicked it up a bit and they were much more flavorful.

I love these, and not just for guests. Just two things: It’s worth throwing in some fresh spinach, as it tastes a little different than frozen. I make up the balls, and freeze them. For a quick snack, you can pop some in the microwave, and they taste pretty much the same .

I needed a bunch for a gathering and the recipe doesn’t say how many it makes, so I increased it by half. They were wonderful. Ended up with more than 4 dozen.

Several people at our Memorial Day cookout enjoyed them , but we thought they were bland. I would suggest adding more herbs or spices.

These are fantastic! They were a hit at the party I brought them to. I took the advice of a couple people in the comments and added a few dashes of cayenne. It provided a subtle kick that people seemed to enjoy.

My aunt use to make, a version of, this recipe. So, I made some changes to this recipe. I used a box of pork flavor stuffing mix. I didn’t add the green onion. I made them ahead and froze the spinach balls, and when I baked them I add an extra 10 minutes since they were frozen.

Easy and delicious! These were a hit.

Very quick &easy to make. I added minced onion & garlic to make just a little tastier Will.make it again.

This is a good little appetizer. I followed some other reviews and cut the bread crumbs in half. I also doubled the amount of onion. I briefly sauteed the onion with some garlic in some of the butter. I used shredded parmesan instead of grated. I was still hoping for a bit more flavor so next time will add some basil. I baked on parchment paper for 15 minutes, then flipped them and baked another 15. I served these with the Horseradish dipping sauce from this site – that was a good complement. Edit: 12/17: I wanted to make these gluten free so used GF bread crumbs this time. I started with one cup but ended up using the full 2 cups. I also added some finely chopped baby bella mushrooms with the onion and garlic saute. I used an Italian spice blend to add flavor. I still find them overwhelmingly ‘spinachy’ and continue to try to find ways to enhance the flavor. The Horseradish sauce really is necessary in terms of flavor.
