Instructions

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is creamy and well integrated.
  • On a clean surface, carefully unroll the crescent dough triangles.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the creamy spinach mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  • Roll each triangle up towards the point, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling secure.
  • Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  • Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan and a touch of cracked black pepper.
  • Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm. Pair them with a marinara sauce or a garlic herb dip for an extra layer of flavor.

Notes

Consider adding chopped sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, or fresh herbs like basil or oregano to the filling for extra flavor. Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
