Had a box of frozen spinach sitting in my freezer for some time, so I decided to find something different to do with it. Here's the original recipe. I altered mine, as many reviewers stated it lacked flavor. I served it with lite sour cream, as that's all I had on had, but you could use almost anything!

Ingredients
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
1.In a medium bowl, mix together flour and eggs. Stir in spinach, and season with salt and pepper to taste and paprika.
2.Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Drop spinach mixture into the oil by the spoonful, and flatten into patties. Cook until browned on both sides. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve warm.

Makes 4 servings.

My recipe:
1 10z box of spinach
4 TBS whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup egg beaters
1/4 cup grated onion
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 TBS olive olil

This made 6 small panackes. Even my daughter loved them :)

    I wouldn't have thought to use spinach. I do love zucchini pancakes (prepared basically the same way). I might give them a try sometime. Thanks!

    If you ever need another idea for spinach, I make spinach and eggs often. You just cook the spinach in a pan can use a little oil if you want to keep from sticking. Then add egg (I use egg whites) and scramble them with the spinach. I also add in cherry tomato, onion, garlic and skim mozzarella sometimes.

    Yum! I bet they would be good with some Greek yogurt. Wish I could find egg beaters here.
