Ingredients
Scale
Spinach Dip Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Dough and Topping
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: red pepper flakes or extra cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Sauté Spinach and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the spinach cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess moisture to avoid soggy rolls.
- Prepare Spinach Dip Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent or pizza dough onto a clean surface forming a rectangle. Evenly spread the prepared spinach dip mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to help seal the rolls.
- Form Rolls: Starting from the long edge of the dough, roll it tightly into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8 to 10 rolls of even thickness.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolls cut-side up on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash to achieve a golden brown and shiny finish. Sprinkle with extra cheese or red pepper flakes if desired for added flavor and garnish.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until they turn golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve the spinach dip rolls warm as a delightful appetizer or snack that’s sure to impress your guests.
