Spinach and Feta Crescent Rolls

This post is making me extremely depressed. I absolutely loveddddd these rolls when I made them a few months ago, and when I went back to the website to retrieve the recipe, it was gone! How dare they?! I feel deprived, betrayed, depressed…but this is what Google is for. I found the recipe on a different website, and I know it’s the right one because I do remember putting olives in the rolls, thinking it was a little odd, and then thanking the recipe because I was clearly in the wrong. Delicious appetizer!

Crescent Rolls with Feta & Spinach

Ingredients:

  • 2 tubes Pillsbury (or whatever brand) crescent rolls, 8 ct.
  • 4 oz. crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 oz. fresh baby spinach (about half of a pre-washed bag), chopped
  • 2 oz. black olives, finely diced (optional)
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Chop the spinach and olives and put them in a large mixing bowl.  Add the feta, mozzarella, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper.  Toss thoroughly and set the bowl aside.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and divide into triangles.
  • Using a spoon, place small heaps of the spinach mixture on the wide part of the dough triangle.
  • Roll them up and place them on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Brush them lightly with the egg white.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately (they’re still good when they’re at room temp, but when they’re warm they’re out of this world good.)

Pizza Dip

This dip is the best of both worlds – now you can enjoy pizza as an appetizer! I love dips. The only thing that would make this better is a little bit of bacon, because everyone knows that everything is better with bacon. What I like about this recipe is that you can pretty much use the basic “pizza” ingredients and add your favorite pizza toppings to satisfy your taste buds. I’d definitely add bacon. Shocker, I know. I don’t really have much else to say about this dip because, well, it’s a pizza dip and that’s just awesome!
