Recipe, Appetizer, Entertaining, Don’t lose Your Mind

 

Living at the beach means that in the summer you are definitely going to have guests at any given moment.  It’s just the way it is.

So, entertaining with casual elegance and never losing your mind is something I am trying to master.

The following recipe is one that I think you are going to really like.  I have not thought about it in some time but it is one of those that you can keep in the freezer and have it ready when friends arrive.

 

Spinach Balls

 

2 10 oz. pkgs. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

2 cups herb stuffing mix

1 cup firmly packed freshly grated Parmesan cheese (5 oz. wedge)

1/2 cup butter, melted

4 small green onions, finely chopped

3 eggs

dash of nutmeg

mustard sauce – (recipe follows)

 

Combine all ingredients, except sauce, in a large bowl and mix well.  Shape into 1″ balls.  Cover and refrigerate or freeze until ready to bake.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Set balls on ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.   Serve with mustard sauce.

 

Mustard Sauce

1/2 cup dry mustard

1/2 cup white wine

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg yolk

Combine mustard and vinegar in small bown.  Cover and let stand 4 hours at room temperature.

And, with a nice glass of wine…..hmm great!!

 

Note:  The painted glass is from TaDa, 18 North Main St., Berlin, Maryland, 21811, Tel. 410-641-4430.  I wrote about TaDa on 10/27/09.  If you would like to see it, please click on the month of October, on the left hand side of this blog and scroll down to the date.

   These sound great- if you freeze them do you have to let them thaw at all before baking? Thanks.

   No, you do not need to thaw them ahead of time. Just adjust the cooking time by a few more minutes. Thanks for the comments on the blog.
