Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Dough

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 1/3 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/3 cup frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons onion, finely diced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Garnish

  • Fresh herbs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crescent bites.
  2. Prepare Baking Equipment: Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the bunny ears.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch together the seams to create a uniform dough sheet. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles to fit into the muffin tin cups.
  4. Form Cups: Press each dough circle firmly into the muffin tin cups to form little cups. Pierce the bottoms of each cup gently with a fork to avoid puffing during baking.
  5. Create Bunny Ears: Using the leftover dough, cut out bunny ear shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake Dough: Bake the bunny ears for 3-5 minutes until slightly golden. Bake the dough cups separately for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Make Wells: While the cups are still warm, use a wooden spoon to gently press down in the center of each to create wells for the filling.
  8. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix together the chopped artichoke hearts, thawed spinach, finely diced onion, cream cheese, sour cream, grated parmesan, and minced garlic until well combined.
  9. Fill Cups: Spoon the creamy filling into each dough well, filling them generously.
  10. Assemble and Garnish: Insert the baked bunny ears into the filled cups to create a festive bunny look and garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.

Notes

  • The crescent roll dough can be found refrigerated near the biscuits in most grocery stores.
  • Make sure spinach is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to avoid soggy filling.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh spinach for frozen if preferred, just sauté slightly before chopping.
  • These bites can be served warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for parties.
  • For a dairy-free variation, use plant-based cream cheese, sour cream alternatives, and skip the parmesan cheese.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
