1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 (10-oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from firm white bread)
4 poached large eggs >
3 oz thinly sliced serrano ham or prosciutto
7 to 8 cups vegetable oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 0 teaspoon water
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Whisk together cream and 2 teaspoons flour in a small bowl until just combined.

Add spinach, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until excess liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir cream mixture, then add to spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until cream is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  • Gently blot any water from top of poached eggs with paper towels, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Carefully dredge 1 poached egg in flour, dusting off excess. Transfer to beaten egg, spooning to coat completely, then transfer with a slotted spoon to bread crumbs, letting excess egg drip off. Coat with crumbs and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining poached eggs, 1 at a time.
  • Cut sliced ham crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP BALLS



Crispy Deep Fried Spinach & Artichoke Dip Balls image

My girlfriend and I were at T.G.I. Fridays last week, and as we were eating chips w/ spinach and artichoke dip, and we started talking about how good it would be in deep friend little balls. We thought that surely it had been done before, but as we searched online (Food Network,Google,etc), we couldn't find any reference to it, and couldn't find a recipe. Well, we decided to make our own!

Time 20m

Yield 18 Ball of Joy, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 artichoke hearts (fresh, not canned or pickled)
3 garlic cloves (shredded or pressed)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces chopped spinach (squeeze as much water out as you can)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup flour, for bowl # 1
3 large eggs, beaten for bowl # 2
panko breadcrumbs, bowl # 3

Steps:

  • If you've made Spinach & Artichoke Dip before, you will notice that this recipe is much thicker. If the finished product isn't thick enough to roll into balls, add alittle more Parm Cheese, or refrigerate to tighten/thicken the mix.
  • Preheat your Fry Daddy! Roll the balls into the size you would like, and place on a sheet, and place in the freezer for 20 - 30 mins (this will tighten/solidify the balls into something that can be more successfully breaded.
  • One at a time, cover each ball with flour (bowl #1), then into the egg until its totally covered (bowl #2), and finally into the breadcrumbs until covered (bowl #3). Drop into the hot oil and fry for 5 - 6 minutes. Enjoy!
