Spinach and swiss muffins

I love all kinds of breads and biscuits and this recipe looks amazing ! I cannot wait to try it out ! This recipe comes from my homemade life .


2/3 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 egg
2 c. Original Bisquick Mix
3/4 c. coarsely chopped fresh spinach
3/4 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped green onion (or if you prefer, you can add 3 slices cooked & crumbled bacon)
Tiny pinch of Kosher Salt
Soft butter or softened cream cheese for Schmearing

Heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Grease your 12 cup muffin tin.

Grab a nice big handful of fresh spinach, and chop it all up.
Do the same with the green onion (and the bacon if you are adding). Dice it all up nice and dainty.

Now would be a good time to shred your Swiss cheese too and get out your freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Combine the milk, oil and egg until blended. Add Bisquick, spinach, onion and cheeses and the dash of Kosher salt. Combine.

Batter will be thick and sticky. Spoon batter evenly into your greased 12 cup Muffin Tin.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them, that's what the oven window is for.

Cool for about 5 minutes. These little Girly Girls will pop out perfectly.

These are better served warm with butter or cream cheese.
