RECIPE
Spinach Burgers
Spinach burgers might sound a bit odd, but they are so very tasty! With just a handful of ingredients, they area cinch to make and are ready in about 15 minutes. And talk about healthy….? Pop-Eye would be going crazy if he knew about these.
1 16 oz package of frozen spinach thawed
1/2 cup shredded cheese -mixed blends are good as is gouda
1/4 cup onions finely diced
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic salt
2 egg whites and 1 egg beaten together
Take thawed spinach and using all of your muscles squeeze all -or as much as you can- of the water out. Using your fingers, take the crazy small clump of spinach that you have created and separate and “fluff” it out in a medium sized bowl. To the spinach add the rest of the ingredients -the cheese, onions, bread crumbs, garlic salt and egg/egg white mixture. Using your hands -don’t be afraid to get a little messy- combine all the ingredients until they are uniformly mixed.
Once mixed, shape into 4 large or 6 medium sized burgers (or you can even make little sliders!).
Heat a non-stick frying pan to medium high and spray with cooking spray (I prefer olive oil cooking spray). Place burgers on pan and cook on each side for about 4 minutes.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your heart’s content, but for me, in this recipe, less is more. I love to serve them on a nice whole grain bun with a touch of mayo and a fresh ripe tomato for a beautiful, colorful and healthy meal.
