Lemon Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup real mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon
- Dash of hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 cup dairy sour cream
Spinach Bites
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen, chopped spinach - thawed and well drained
- 1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon instant minced onion
- Dash of ground nutmeg
Lightly grease baking sheets. In a small bowl, mix spinach, stuffing mix, cheese, eggs, butter, or margarine, onion, and nutmeg until well blended. Shape into balls using 1 teaspoon of the mixture for each ball; place on baking sheets. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or freeze until ready to bake.
Preheat oven to 350(. Bake spinach bites for 10 to 15 minutes on greased sheet, or until bottoms are starting to brown. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, mustard, and hot pepper sauce; blend until smooth. Stir in sour cream.
To serve, spear warm spinach bites with wooden picks and dip in lemon mayonnaise.
These freeze well. I have always frozen them before baking.
