Jamie Geller, author of Quick and Kosher Recipes from the Bride Who Knew Nothing, contributed this recipe for Spinach Tidbits. Serve these dairy appetizers to your Hanukkah guests before lighting the Menorah. They can be prepared and frozen a week in advance to minimize pre-party preparations.

Prep Time: 14 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 (16-ounce) package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned mini croutons
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon prepared crushed garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190° Celsius).
2. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, place spinach, parmesan, onion, egg, croutons, butter, garlic and Tabasco. Mix well.
5. Shape spinach mixture into 1-inch balls using hands or a melon baller.
6. Arrange on cookie sheet spaced 1 inch apart.
7. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15 minutes, until croutons are slightly golden.

TIP: Prepare this a week ahead of time by freezing tidbits after step 6. Freeze them on the cookie sheet overnight and in the morning transfer them to a sealable plastic bag for easier storage. Do not thaw them before baking; just increase baking time by 20 minutes.

YIELD: 6 servings
