INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a saucepan, bring the milk, butter and salt to a boil over medium heat. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Stir in spinach and cheese. Line baking sheets with foil and grease the foil. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls 1-1/2 in. apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 23-28 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers.

This recipe was a hit at a recent get together with friends. The flavor and texture were fabulous. The first part of the recipe- when you had to add the eggs one by one was a bit labor intensive but worth it. They are definitely best served warm fresh out of the oven. Once cold they lose a little of their appeal. I would recommend this recipe if you are having folks in your home. This really isn't a fix to take with you since these little bites need to be eaten right away while warm. They were a hit and so yummy?

Simple and divine right out of the oven. Make sure to beat well after the addition of each egg - until the batter becomes very stiff.
