STOVE TOP SPINACH BALLS



Stove Top Spinach Balls image

I made these for my family's Christmas party. My family really liked these. We thought they tasted so good. I think they are best when served warm from the oven. When I made this recipe I tried to half the recipe which didn't work out so well. I cut the recipe in half but ended up adding the entire packet of stuffing. I also used canned mushrooms instead of fresh. I got this recipe from Kraft.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a vibrant green color and crisp texture. Avoid wilted or yellowed spinach.
  • Squeeze out excess water: After cooking the spinach, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This will help the spinach balls hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses, such as Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar, adds flavor and texture to the spinach balls.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the spinach ball mixture can make the balls tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the spinach ball mixture: Chilling the spinach ball mixture for at least 30 minutes before frying helps the balls hold their shape.
  • Fry the spinach balls in hot oil: Frying the spinach balls in hot oil creates a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Spinach balls can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or tzatziki sauce.
