An easy and delicious appetizer to prepare. It can be prepared in advance and baked just before you are ready to serve. Or, baked and reheated. Great for parties and gatherings, as they are bite-sized.
You will need:
- 1 package of frozen spinach (15 oz.)
- one onion
- eggs
- butter
- thyme
- Parmesan
- day-old bread
