Cheesy Spinach Layered Biscuits

This recipe transforms ordinary store bought refrigerated biscuits into something a little more special for kids.  With the addition of spinach and flaxseeds for nutrients and cheese for extra yummy factor, these biscuits are a great snack or side.

I came up with this recipe a number of years ago to get spinach into my family and daycare children’s diet.  It is still one our sneaky food favorites today.

Cheesy Spinach Layered Biscuits

1 can flaky refrigerated biscuits

1 1/4 cup frozen cut spinach leaves

1 1/4 cup shredded pizza cheese

2 tsp. ground flaxseed meal

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place frozen spinach in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.  Place in a bowl and microwave for 20 seconds.  Wrap in a clean, dry towel or layers of paper towels and squeeze dry.  Separate and fluff spinach using fingertips.

Separate biscuit into three layers.

Reassembled biscuit.

Separate each biscuit into three layers.  Sprinkle flaxseed on all.  Add a thin coating of spinach to two layers.  Sprinkle cheese on all layers.  Stack the spinach layers on top of each other.  Top with the third layer (without the spinach).  Repeat these steps for all 8 biscuits.

Place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 15 – 17 minutes.
