I've tried a couple of other spinach nugget recipes for my kids. This one is by far the best. I substituted the seasoned breadbrumbs with whole wheat panko breadcrumbs and added some garlic powder and sea salt. They came out great and my kids love them. Thanks for the good recipe!

I've made these little gems for years. You can also add about 1 1/2 cups turkey ham diced which makes them extra yummy.
