"Either as an appetizer or side dish," promises Faye Buffenmeyer of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, "this is delicious!" And, since it can be made ahead, you might think about doubling the recipe and freezing some for unexpected guests.—Faye Buffenmeyer, Lebanon, Pennsylvania

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
2-1/2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 eggs, beaten

I used to have a similar recipe and this one is almost an exact duplicate. Thank you for posting the recipe, since mine was lost in one of the moves.

I just attended an event where someone brought these. She made them according to the recipe and I had to rush to this website to get the recipe for myself. I will definitely be making these.

Was very easy to make and I got a lot of compliments on these! I saw the comments from people wishing they had more flavor so I added a little extra parmesan.

These were pretty good. I would have liked a little more flavor. I used freshly grated parmesan, so maybe some additional spice or hot sauce?
