Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
For the Dough:
- 1 package (12 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Spinach Dip Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and minced garlic if using. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this filling aside.
- Prepare the Crescent Roll Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles, or if using pizza dough, roll it out into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spoon about one tablespoon of the spinach dip filling onto each crescent roll triangle or pizza dough piece. Spread evenly, then starting at the wide end, roll each piece up tightly. Pinch the edges to seal and arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Rolls: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the filling inside is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with ranch dressing or extra spinach dip for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute the crescent roll dough with pizza dough for a different texture.
- For a dairy-free version, try using vegan cheese and substitute sour cream and mayonnaise with suitable alternatives.
- Adding minced garlic to the filling is optional but enhances the flavor significantly.
- Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the rolls.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated and served the next day.
