Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed very dry
- 14 oz canned artichoke hearts drained and finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz Pillsbury crescent roll dough 1 tube
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed dry spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until it's well combined and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Take each triangle and cut it lengthwise into 3 smaller triangles, creating a total of 24 smaller pieces.
- Carefully press one small crescent dough triangle into each cup of the prepared mini muffin tin. Make sure the pointed end of the triangle is sticking out slightly over the edge of the cup.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the spinach artichoke mixture into each crescent dough cup, filling them evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove.
Notes
These spinach artichoke bites are best served warm, but they are also delicious at room temperature. They make fantastic appetizers for parties, game days, or a simple snack!
