What could be better than creamy, herb-infused cheesy spinach triangles made with crescent rolls?? These are always a big hit at parties. They go fast, so consider a double batch! Number of servings depends on how many each person eats! Read more ! lol This makes 96, and that usually feeds 12-15 of us! lol Ingredients:
8 ounces package softened cream cheese |
5 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained |
2 tablespoons milk |
garlic & onion powder, to taste |
salt and pepper, to taste |
parmesean or romano cheese, to taste |
italian seasoning, to taste |
bacon bits, optional |
1 medium egg |
3 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls |
**** kicked up version |
i always buy bags of frozen chopped spinach. you can saute it with the seasonings, and have very little, if any liquid to drain. i like to saute with some onion and red pepper, both chopped fine, as well as a heaping tablespoon of minced or chopped garlic. i like this better than the onion and garlic powder, however, those are good options that are quicker. i almost always add a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dash of worcestershire to anything using spinach. i usually add chopped fresh fried bacon instead of bacon bits. just wanted to post the original recipe as given to me by a friend for foodies who prefer the easier methods. |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix the cream cheese, spinach, milk, and spices [include bacon bits, if desired] in a small, bowl.
3. When seasoned to taste, add egg and stir until well mixed.
4. Cover, and refrigerate while working with the dough.
5. Open the first tube of dough and unroll.
6. There should be 4 rectangles, each sliced down one diagonal.
7. For each of these 4 rectangles, slice from corner to corner, and across from edge to edge: / | . This will result in a total of 32 per package of crescent rolls.
8. Place 1/2 tsp. of the spinach mixture onto each of the small triangles, pull one point of the triangle over the mixture, and tuck under the bottom on the opposite side.
9. Place triangles onto a non-stick cookie sheet, and bake for 10 min. or until tops are golden.
10. Remove from oven, and allow to cool 2-3 min.
