Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tubes (one 6 ounces, one 12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Marinara sauce, warmed, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, garlic and pepper until blended. Stir in spinach, cheeses and mayonnaise.
Separate biscuit dough. Using a serrated knife, cut each biscuit horizontally in half. Wrap each half around 1 tablespoon spinach mixture, pinching to seal and forming a ball.
Layer in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.

Yummy! My family, including toddlers, loved it. I just bought a 16ish ounce tube of biscuit dough, which is about 2 ounces shy of the total asked for so I had a little extra filling. It's okay if the biscuit balls don't completely seal, which is good because mine wouldn't quite do it. I just put the closed parts of the balls facing up to keep any cheese from dripping down.

These pull-aparts take some time to make, but they're certainly worth it. I pared down the recipe by using only the large tube of biscuits and baking them in an 8x8 square cake pan. I also added crumbled feta to the filling. Will definitely make again.

I love the presentation of this especially with a bowl of dipping sauce set in the center of the ring. The filling tasted a little flat to me. I think the next time I make this I'll add some pesto or chopped onion.

These took quite a while to make and bake. They were pretty tasty. My son especially liked them. I also had a lot of the filling mixture left over so I used that on crackers.
