Spinach Balls or Bars

The original recipe calls for Parmesan Cheese and Oregano. I've played with it a little and have substituted Feta and Dill and they've turned out wonderful! You can also add diced tomatoes to add a little bit of color

Ingredients:
2 - 10oz packages frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
1 medium onion chopped
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese (or feta cheese if using dill)
4 eggs
1 medium tomato (seeded and diced) - Optional
1 1/2 tsps. dried oregano or dill (or about 2 Tbls fresh)
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all the ingredients together and either form into 1 inch balls or spread entire mixture in the bottom of a 13x9inch pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Can be served hot or cold and dipping in marinara sauce is always good. Also makes a nice after work snack when made ahead of time.
