Ingredients

1. Vegetable Mixture
2. 1 cup (100g) Cookin’ Greens Chopped Spinach and Cookin’ Greens Chopped Kale, blended 50/50
3. 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive or vegetable oil
4. 1 medium garlic clove, 1 tsp (5ml) finely chopped
5. ¼ tsp (1 ml) sea salt
6. Biscuit Mixture
7. 2 cups (480 ml) Bisquick or other dry biscuit mix
8. ½ cup (120 mL) shredded cheddar cheese or nacho cheese blend
9. ¼ tsp (1 ml) cayenne pepper
10. ½ to ¾ cup (120 to 180 ml) milk

Instructions

1. For the Vegetable Mixture: Heat the oil in a large frying pan; add garlic. Stir. Add Cookin’ Greens Chopped Kale and Spinach and sauté for 5 minutes or until just cooked. Season with salt. Set aside to cool while preparing the biscuit mixture.
2. For the Biscuit Mixture: In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, cooled vegetables, cheese and cayenne. Gradually add milk to make soft dough. (If the dough is soft without adding all of the milk, do not use it all. Temperature and humidity will affect the amount of liquid required). Knead in the bowl to make sure all dry ingredients are well incorporated with the vegetables.
3. Preheat oven to 450° F (232° C).
4. Using ¼ cup, portion the biscuits into greased muffin cups or onto a baking paper lined sheet pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden or until a tester comes out clean.
