Description
These Spinach Dip Bites are warm, cheesy, and wrapped in golden buttery dough, delivering an irresistible appetizer that’s perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen spinach, chopped and thawed (squeeze dry)
- 6 oz artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ½ tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- ½ tsp garlic salt with parsley flakes
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 8 oz can refrigerated seamless crescent dough
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, softened cream cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Season the mixture with garlic salt and black pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly until the filling becomes smooth and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and gently roll it into an 8×12-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 24 even squares. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan, then press each dough square firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each well to form little cups.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prepared spinach and artichoke filling into each dough cup. Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each filled dough cup.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake the bites for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bites to cool for about 5 minutes. This resting time helps them set and makes it easier to lift them out. Serve warm to enjoy the best gooey-cheese experience.
Notes
- These bites pair well with soups or can be served as a standalone snack.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the filling.
