Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen spinach, chopped and thawed
- 6 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ⅜ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (half of ¾ cup)
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated seamless crescent dough
- Additional ⅜ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (remaining half of ¾ cup)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
- In a bowl, mix together the thawed chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend in the softened cream cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Season the mixture with garlic salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- On a cutting board, roll out the crescent dough into an 8×12 inch rectangle using a rolling pin, lightly stretching it to fit. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares, yielding about 24 squares total.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Place one dough square into each muffin slot, gently pressing down to create an indent without molding fully to the cup.
- Spoon about one teaspoon of the spinach and artichoke mixture onto each dough square in the muffin tin. Gently press the filling in to ensure it settles well.
- Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each filled dough cup.
- Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the bites to cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes to set and make removal easier. Serve warm and enjoy these delicious finger foods!
