Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Thaw the frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure it is as dry as possible to prevent soggy rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the prepared spinach. Mix until well combined.
Crack the egg into the mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Add the panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix everything thoroughly to form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Gently flatten each ball into round shapes using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake the spinach rounds in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the rounds from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve warm with additional ranch dressing on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
