Party Panache, Nutty Spinach Stuffing Bites
This is a fun and different little app to serve during the holidays. You can use leftover stuffing or mix up a quick batch with a stuffing mix
My friend Lynn over at Happier than a Pig in Mud inspired me to try this. I used her recipe and added nuts for added flavor and texture
Kinda like a little surprise inside 🎉
I made our favorite stuffing as a side dish for dinner one night and saved the leftovers to make these appetizer bites
I like to add sauteed onion and celery to Pepperidge Farm Herb stuffing mix, and use chicken broth instead of water
Eggs, Parmesan, spinach and a dash of garlic
Mix it all together
Mound a spoonful of stuffing around your nut of choice, pecan
Pistaschios
Almonds
Pine nuts
Bake them on a parchment lined baking sheet
Bake about 15 minutes or until golden

Oh so simple and they look delish!
I loved Lynn’s stuffing bites Jenna and the nut inside makes for a fun surprise! I could happily devour several with a glass of wine. I bet a cube of cheddar inside would be tasty too 🙂
I’m with Mary! A very nice little nosh indeed, love the nutty addition:@)
Oh, I can smell these baking now! I will most definitely have to try this one during the holidays.
