How to Make Mildew Nibbles

  1. Thaw 10 oz package of frozen spinach and thoroughly drain.
  2. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the spinach. You can use a clean kitchen towel to help with this.
  3. Lightly toast 1 cup of bread crumbs until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  4. Once cool, add the toasted bread crumbs to a food processor or blender and pulse until finely crumbed.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed spinach, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese, 1 large egg, ¼ cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least three hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and makes the mixture easier to handle.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  8. Once chilled, roll the spinach mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and heated through.
