Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the can of biscuits.
  2. 2
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. 3
    Add onions and saute them in the olive oil until softened.
  4. 4
    Add garlic and saute about a minute longer.
  5. 5
    Stir in the Italian seasoning and lemon juice.
  6. 6
    Throw in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
  7. 7
    Add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. 8
    Take two biscuits and squish them together and try to form a ball.
  9. 9
    Set the ball of dough on a lightly floured surface.
  10. 10
    Use your rolling pin to roll it out into a flat circle.
  11. 11
    Try to get it pretty thin.
  12. 12
    You may need to flour your rolling pin or the top of the dough a little so it doesnt stick.
  13. 13
    I started by making 3 of these, and if there is filling left over you can make a fourth.
  14. 14
    Lay about 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture on one side of the circle of dough leaving a little space on the edges.
  15. 15
    Top the spinach on each one with cheese.
  16. 16
    Fold the dough over the filling (making a 1/2 moon shape) and line up the edges.
  17. 17
    Use the tip of a fork and press down around the open edge to seal.
  18. 18
    Brush the tops with beaten egg.
  19. 19
    Place them on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are a golden brown.
  20. 20
    If they are not browning well, do as I did and pop them under the broiler for about a minute at the end of the bake time.
  21. 21
    Serve heated marinara sauce on the side for dipping!
  22. 22
    Note: You may have biscuits left over from the tube so use them for breakfast in the morning with jelly!
