It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
6 eggs, hard-boiled
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt or celery salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 rib celery, finely minced
cayenne pepper, optional
directions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set the egg white halves aside on a serving platter.
Combine the yolks with the blue cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, tabasco, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the cheesy-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
Garnish the eggs with finely minced celery and a sprinkle of cayenne.
recipe tips
Peel the eggs under cold running water to make it easier to remove the shells smoothly.
Fill the egg whites generously with the yolk mixture.
Serve the stuffed eggs chilled.
Experiment with the amount of hot sauce. You can also use pre-made buffalo sauce in place of it.

Very good. I'm not sure about the complaints of saltiness. Mine didn't seem too salty. And the bleu cheese gave them a distinctive flavor. I think I would use actual hot wing sauce instead of Tabasco, but they're pretty close I know.

I like salt, but these were extremely salty. I don't think I would make them again

Brought these to a party and my friends scarfed down 3 dozen in less than 10 minutes. Only complaint is too much salt between the bleu cheese, salt and celery salt. Next time I plan to eliminate the salt and use celery salt to taste. Plan to make again and again!

These are really good, but the saltiness is a downer. Omit the regular salt altogether, and use celery salt sparingly. Both the bleu cheese and Tabasco are strong sodium contributers so maybe only dash the celery salt as a garnish. Speaking of garnish, along w/ the minced celery I like to use the premade Sunkist slivered, flavored almonds. Nice crunch and super easy.

Great combination of ingredients... but I suggest you skip the celery salt and regular salt; the bleu cheese has a lot of salt in it. I mitigated the saltiness by adding a sm dash of sugar, 4 more egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of mayo and finely diced red bell peppers. I mixed some of the red bell peppers in with the diced celery for color and sprinkled the mix on the top as well as a few sprinkles of fresh parsley. All in all, wonderful recipe which I'll be pleased to present at our 2005 holiday party.
