Kittencal's Spinach-Cheddar Patties

• 2 (10 ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach (drained well, squeeze out any excess moisture with hands)
• 3 -4 tablespoons butter (or use vegetable oil)
• 2 medium onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb (you might need a little more)
• 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste, or use white salt)
• 12 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste, or use black pepper)
• 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (or use 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese)
• vegetable oil (for frying)

1. In a large skillet heat the 4 tablespoons butter or oil over medium heat.
2. Add in onion and garlic; saute for about 4-5 minutes or until softened then place into a large bowl along with the butter from the skillet.
3. Add in squeezed spinach, dry bread crumbs, 1 cup cheddar cheese or 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper; mix to combine.
4. Add in beaten eggs; stir to combine (if the mixture is too soft then add in a little more breadcrumbs).
5. Cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
6. Using your hands shape the spinach mixture into small logs (about 3-inches long, I used greased hands).
7. Place a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (use enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet).
8. Fry the logs for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
9. Transfer to paper towels to drain any fat.
