Ingredients
- 2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach (drained well, squeeze out any excess moisture with hands)
- 3 -4 tablespoons butter (or use vegetable oil)
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb (you might need a little more)
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste, or use white salt)
- 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste, or use black pepper)
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or use 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese)
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Method
- In a large skillet heat the 4 tablespoons butter or oil over medium heat.
- Add in onion and garlic; saute for about 4-5 minutes or until softened then place into a large bowl along with the butter from the skillet.
- Add in squeezed spinach, dry bread crumbs, 1 cup cheddar cheese or 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper; mix to combine.
- Add in beaten eggs; stir to combine (if the mixture is too soft then add in a little more breadcrumbs).
- Cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Using your hands shape the spinach mixture into small logs (about 3-inches long, I used greased hands).
- Place a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (use enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet).
- Fry the logs for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain any fat.
