Spinach And Cheese Slab Biscuits Recipes

SPINACH-AND-CHEDDAR SLAB QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle; prick all over with a fork. Whisk egg white with 1/2 teaspoon water; brush over dough. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Roll dough onto rolling pin; unroll onto a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Line with parchment; fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment (if it sticks, bake a few more minutes); continue baking until golden and set on bottom, 8 to 10 minutes more (if browning too quickly, tent edges with foil). Immediately prick bottom where puffed excessively to flatten. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Scatter spinach and cheese evenly over pastry. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour evenly over spinach and cheese. Bake until quiche is set and puffed slightly, 18 to 22 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool on a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

TASTY SPINACH TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a miniature muffin pan.
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until tender and lightly browned.
• In a medium bowl, mix together onion, spinach, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Unroll buttermilk biscuit dough. Separate each biscuit into two. Place biscuit dough halves into the prepared miniature muffin pan, forming small cups that extend slightly beyond the rim. Fill the biscuit dough cups with desired amounts of the onion and spinach mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven 12 minutes, or until biscuit dough and filling are lightly browned.

CHEESE & SPINACH PASTIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the baking tray with baking parchment. Put the spinach onto pieces of kitchen paper. Pat flat to remove any water, then put in the bowl. Add the cheeses and nutmeg, stir together and set aside.
• Using a flour dredger, sprinkle some flour on the work surface. Roll out the pastry to a long rectangle (step 1). Using the biscuit cutter, cut out 6 circles (step 2). Brush the edges with water (step 3), then spoon the spinach mixture into the middle of each. Fold the edges together and squeeze them. Brush the tops with more water and make holes with a fork (step 4). Bake for 15-20 mins until golden, then enjoy warm or leave to cool completely and pack into lunchboxes.

SPANAKOPITA (GREEK SPINACH PIE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic, until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, and continue to saute until spinach is limp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, and feta. Stir in spinach mixture. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough in prepared baking pan, and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay another sheet of phyllo dough on top, brush with olive oil, and repeat process with two more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread spinach and cheese mixture into pan and fold overhanging dough over filling. Brush with oil, then layer remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each with oil. Tuck overhanging dough into pan to seal filling.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve while hot.
