Ingredients

45 ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 (300 g) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

3 scallions, thinly sliced, dark green parts reserved

2 cloves garlic, minced

240 g whole milk cottage cheese

1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, plus extra for serving

freshly ground black pepper

115 g crumbled feta cheese, divided

30 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

1 16-ounce (8 count) can refrigerated biscuits

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a skillet, heat 15 ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach, scallions, and garlic. Cook until the spinach is heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Transfer the spinach mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese mixture, half of the feta cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Arrange the biscuit pieces around the edge of the skillet, slightly overlapping, to form a ring.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the biscuits. Sprinkle the remaining feta and Parmesan cheese over the dip. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the dip is bubbly.

Step 7

Garnish with the reserved scallion greens and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
