Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Fresh spinach leaves
- 120 g Breadcrumbs
- 100 g Grated mozzarella cheese
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 30 g All-purpose flour (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly, then cook it in a pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and drain well. Squeeze out excess water and chop finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, breadcrumbs, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and forms a sticky mixture.
Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 2.5 cm thick. If the mixture is too sticky to handle, lightly dust your hands with flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the spinach cheese patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
