- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (for cooking)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
- Prep the spinach: Wash and finely chop the fresh spinach.
- Sauté onions and garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine sautéed onions and garlic with chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined; the mixture should be slightly sticky.
