Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Filling
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the well-drained spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth, evenly mixed filling.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and gently separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
- Fill Rolls: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll the dough from the wide end towards the point, folding in the sides if necessary to seal the filling tightly inside.
- Arrange and Apply Egg Wash: Place each stuffed roll seam-side down on the lined baking sheet to prevent unrolling during baking. For a shiny golden crust, brush the tops with the beaten egg if using.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown, signaling they are perfectly cooked.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving these warm, cheesy, spinach-filled delights. Enjoy immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by adding cooked crumbled bacon or chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the filling.
- These rolls are excellent as an appetizer, a snack, or a side dish to complement any meal.
- Using an egg wash is optional but recommended for a beautiful golden finish and added texture.
