These are so good! Another panko crusted oven creation that is fun for the whole family! I am bringing these to therapy sessions this week and so far they have been a success. I suggest serving them with a favorite dip--today the preferred dip was Catalina dressing. My daughter chose Ranch dressing (of course-- I would expect nothing less from her when a new food is concerned!)
Recipe:
1 package frozen chopped spinach, drained and water 'squeezed' out
1 egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
sea salt to taste
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
Beat egg and mix parmesan cheese and flour into egg mixture, add spinach and form into small 1/2 dollar size patties
Roll each patty into panko crumbs, add salt
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes on a foil lined sheet sprayed with olive oil or other baking spray. I flipped these halfway through to ensure a good crisp!
Makes approximately 20 half dollar size patties.
**** To make the egg free version of this recipe I used 2 tablespoons of vegan canola oil based mayonnaise in place of the egg
** Delicious change: Add approximately one large tablespoon of goat cheese to this recipe! I also substituted chopped kale for the spinach and it was delicious!
