Ingredient Notes

You’ll need 1 cup of fresh spinach, finely chopped. Swap with frozen spinach, but ensure it’s well-drained. For the feta, 1/2 cup crumbled will do; look for creamy options. Use 1 pound of store-bought biscuit dough for simplicity—Pillsbury works great. Finally, 2 tablespoons of olive oil adds flavor and moisture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, and olive oil, mixing well.
  2. Fold in the biscuit dough until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Things I’ve Learned

Make sure to chop the spinach finely for even distribution. If you’re in a hurry, you can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to a month. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven or microwave for a quick warm-up.
