Anna mae's microwave spinach balls

24 servings

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack (10 Oz) Spinach, frozen, chopped
¾ cup Swiss Cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese, grated
¼ cup Dry Bread Crumbs
1 tablespoon Onion, grated
1 Egg, beaten
½ teaspoon Salt

1. Place spinach pkg in microwave and cook on High 4 to 5 mins or until defrosted. (Adjust for your oven). Drain, pressing down hard to extract as much liquid as possible.

2. Mix the spinach well with the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses, bread crumbs, onion, egg and salt. Shape into 1-inch balls, using 1½ tsp of mixture for each ball. Place on wax paper-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight. (To keep longer, pack in dozen lots in suitable freezer containers and label. Keep no longer than 2 weeks.)

3. To serve, place balls on microwavable paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Microwave on High for 2 mins. (Adjust for your oven.) Reduce power to Medium or half power. Microwave 4 ½ to 6 mins, or until hot and just set, rearranging once or twice.
