Spinach Artichoke Crescent Rolls

August 24, 2023 by Gina +

Spinach and artichoke dip is definitely a favorite and a classic. And when you roll that into a warm and flaky roll, well that’s a great snack and appetizer right there. And if there’s not too much visible spinach, my kiddos will even eat these. Veggie win!

Jump to Recipe

Chopped artichoke hearts, frozen (then defrosted spinach), parmesan, and cottage cheese make up the filling. I like using cottage cheese because it’s creamy, delicious, and offers some protein. But you can use ricotta too. You just add this to crescent roll sheets, roll, top with a little more parm, then bake. These make a great snack or appetizer. I give them to my kiddos in the afternoon or put them on the table at dinner. And if there are leftovers, they are best reheated in a toaster oven or baked for a few minutes. The microwave makes them kind of soft.

Ingredients needed for the Crescent Rolls

  • Artichoke hearts
  • Defrosted frozen spinach – if you use fresh, you’ll need to cook it completely down
  • Crescent rolls
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Cottage cheese
  • Garlic powder
  • Shredded mozzarella
  • salt & pepper

How to make the Spinach Artichoke Crescent Rolls

  • Preheat oven to 425. 
  • In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, mozzarella, spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic powder, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.  
  • Roll out the dough.  Portion your mix into 8 servings.  Place one serving on the wide edge of the roll.  Gently roll the dough tucking in the mixture.  If any falls out, gently stuff it in the side. 
  • Brush the rolls with a whisked egg and top with a little parm.  Bake 12-15 minutes, until brown on top.

Why we love this recipe…

  • I love veggies and mix them with cheese stuffed in flakey dough, well that’s an easy yes.
  • Easy to make and uses simple ingredients
  • Great snack or appetizer

Tips & FAQ for the Crescent Rolls

Can I use fresh spinach?

Frozen spinach is best but if you use fresh, just cook it down until it’s completely wilted.

How do I store these?

Covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.

How do I reheat these?

The microwave will make them soft so best in a toaster oven or oven at 350 for a few minutes.

Do I have to use cottage cheese?

Ricotta is a good replacement.

The first recipe in my Summer Side Dish Series is The first recipe in my Summer Side Dish Series is this creamy herby potato salad, and it’s going to be on repeat all season long.

It’s everything I want in a potato salad—tender potatoes, crispy bacon, fresh herbs, a creamy Greek yogurt dressing, and just enough mayo to keep it tasting like the classic version we all grew up with.

2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved if large
1 tablespoon pickle brine or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 celery rib, finely diced

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Drain well and spread onto a baking sheet.

While still warm, toss potatoes with the pickle brine and Dijon mustard. Let cool for about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Add potatoes, bacon, celery, green onions, chives, parsley, and dill. Toss gently until coated.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

Finish with extra herbs and bacon right before serving.

Save this one for your next BBQ, picnic, or weeknight dinner. ☀️🥔
