1 lb. pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and completely drained
5 eggs
1 large onion, minced
10 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan (not from can)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 3/4 cups Italian-style bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Squeeze the excess water from the spinach; put in mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well by hand.

Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, either by hand or with a small ice cream scoop.

Place the balls closely together on a baking sheet.

Cook in the top half of the oven until firm to the touch, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Let cool 5 minutes, and then transfer to a platter and serve immediately.

COOK'S NOTE: Wearing latex gloves while mixing and forming the balls is suggested.
