    Spinach Burgers
    10 oz thawed and well drained frozen spinach
    2 egg whites
    1 egg
    1/4 c diced onion
    1/2 c lowfat shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 c bread crumbs
    1 tsp red pepper flakes
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp garlic powder

    Mix all ingredients well in a bowl. Form into 4 burger sized patties, or you can make smaller spinach balls. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side until browned. Serve on your choice of bread product, or eat them "naked".
