"A delicious spicy sausage and feta filling in a crispy breaded crust that may be made ahead, I have stated the yield at 35-40 it will of coarse depend on the size that you shape them balls you may get a few more or less You may shape and bread the balls up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate, save about 1/4-1/3 cup breadcrumbs coat the balls into again just before frying….or you may fry the balls hours in advance and and stick them in the oven to crisp up again just before serving, you can omit the sausage and use one 10-ounce box frozen spinach, cooked and hand-squeezed dry Plan ahead the sausage/rice mixture needs to chill for a few hours or even overnight"
Original is 35-40 servings

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook rice in a saucepan with 4 3/4 cups water until tender; cool to room temperature, then transfer to a large bowl.
Step 2
Mix in cooked sausage meat, onion powder, garlic powder, 2 eggs and the next 6 ingredients; using clean hands mix to combine then season with black pepper and salt to taste.
Step 3
Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 4
Shape into about 1 1/2-inch balls or desired size.
Step 5
In a shallow bowl whisk 2 eggs.
Step 6
Place the dry breadcrumbs into another bowl
Step 7
Coat one ball into the egg allowing any excess to drip off then coat into the breadcrumbs, place onto a large plate then continue with all remaining balls (coat all the balls and place onto a plate before starting to fry them and at this point you may cover and refrigerate until ready to fry).
Step 8
Heat oil in a skillet about 3-inches in depth or a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (if using a fry pan to fry the balls in and depending on what oil you use to fry in you may want to change your oil halfway through).
