Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Thaw spinach completely and squeeze out all excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, eggs, feta, oats, green onions, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Let mixture rest for 5–10 minutes to allow oats to absorb moisture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture per patty into the skillet and flatten slightly.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and firm.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm or store for later use.
Notes
- Substitute oats with almond flour for a low-carb option.
- Goat cheese can replace feta for a creamier texture.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra flavor.
- To bake instead of fry: Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Best served with tzatziki, Greek yogurt, or inside a pita.
- Reheats well in a skillet or oven; also freezer-friendly.
