Spinach and Ricotta Bites

Servings 16 bites

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 300g package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (I like the No Name brand because it comes as two separate blocks so I can thaw one and leave the rest for another time)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (regular or reduced fat both work)
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Combine all the ingredients together and mix well.
  • Using a small scoop (a cookie scoop works well) or a tablespoon, form the mixture into patties and gently flatten.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes, flipping the patties over halfway through. They should be lightly brown on each side.
  • Cool slightly and enjoy warm.
