Rinse and roughly chop the fresh spinach. Steam or blanch the spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Set aside.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the wilted spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Use your hands to form the mixture into 8 equally sized patties.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Serve warm as a side dish, snack, or light main course. Enjoy!
