Recipe: Hg So-Good Spinach Bites
Description: If it's spinach, it must be good!
Easily veganized with appropriate substitutions; I also sometimes nix the cereal and use a mixture of half wheat bread crumbs/ half ground flax seeds, increases the fat content but its good Omegas.
Ingredients: [{"text": "one 10-oz . package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and thoroughly patted dry"}, {"text": "1/2 cup finely chopped onion"}, {"text": "1/3 cup fiber one all-bran cereal (original)"}, {"text": "1/4 cup reduced-fat parmesan cheese"}, {"text": "1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute"}, {"text": "3 tablespoons fat free cream cheese, room temperature"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon light margarine"}, {"text": "3/4 teaspoon minced garlic"}, {"text": "3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning"}, {"text": "1/4 teaspoon salt"}, {"text": "1/8 teaspoon black pepper"}]
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for the Fiber One, and stir until completely mixed.
In a food processor or blender, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add Fiber One crumbs to the large bowl and mix until integrated.
Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying it with nonstick spray. Scoop out about 1 tablespoons of the mixture, form it into a ball with your hands, and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, yielding a total of about 18 balls.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, and then have a ball (or several)!
