When I think of spring, I think of a lot of family gatherings. Between Easter, Mother’s Day and both the kids’ birthdays it seems like we are having people over almost every weekend. We open up our screened-in porch and try to get outside as much as possible. We love this time of the year and look forward to the constant buzz of friends and family. I am always looking for great recipes for entertaining. These spinach crescent roll appetizers are always a big hit. When Pillsbury asked if I would create an appetizer with their crescent rolls, I knew that these would be the perfect recipe.
The great thing about these spinach rolls is that they are so quick and easy to make. The special ingredient is the buttery, flaky Pillsbury crescent rolls that I used to wrap up the spinach filling. When I was doing my weekly shopping this past week, I noticed that Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls are now available in a 2 pack! It’s nice to have an extra package on hand during the spring so I picked up a few.
One of my favorite ways to use crescent rolls is using them to make appetizer recipes. There are many different crescent roll appetizer recipes that you can make that are perfect for any meal of the day, from breakfast to dessert. You can even use them for fun Halloween Treats like these Mummy Crescent Roll Hot Dogs! Today I am going to show you how to make my Spinach Crescent Roll Appetizers. These are perfect to bring to a family party or an outdoor picnic. The crescent dough is a perfect vehicle for the cheesy spinach filling, making them a favorite for both kids and adults.

Yummy . Add nutmeg and fresh garlic

Made these tonight. It was hard to fill the crescents once they were split n half. Next time will try leaving them at actual size and fill them. Maybe add some feta. May have to cook them longer.

I made the recipe and mix made enough for 2 rolls. Mine did not turn out pretty enough for company but delicious anyway. I added some dill to make it taste more like spanakopita and some salt.
Mom says
I am glad you enjoyed them!
Angela E says
These are so tasty, a crowd pleaser for sure and does not take too long to prepare.
Mom says
I’m so happy you enjoyed them!
Mallory says
These look great! Can I make the night before and reheat in the oven?
Mom says
I don’t see why not.
Karen says
Excellent appetizer! Everyone loved! Love putting both Everything but the Bagel seasoning as well as Parmesan on top. Thanks for wonderful recipe!
Mom says
Thank you. I am so glad everyone enjoyed it!

Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe! I made them for a girls night and they were a hit! I will absolutely make these again and again! They didn’t take too long to prepare; but I did have a little difficulty at first to wrap filling around half of the crescent roll even though I used a small cookie scoop. But I doubled recipe and made 48 Spinach “bundles”. I added 2 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg to 20 oz of chopped spinach & increased the mozzarella to 1 cup and 1/4 cup of parmigiana cheese and an 8 oz “brick” of cream cheese!! I ran out of crescent roll dough had just under 1/4 cup of leftover spinach filling! These are fabulous!! The girls loved them! Thank you again!
Lauren says
I make these so often! Delish! Always warm up marina as a dipping sauce to serve with and they are a huge hit. Wondering, could I prepare these ahead of time? I was thinking of prepping them with Saran Wrap covering them over night and waiting until I’m able to bake them to brush the egg white on. Thoughts? Thanks!!
Sheila says
These turned out great! I would definitely make them again!
Debra says
Delicious and easy to make. Will double the recipe next time for more filling. I rolled out the crescent dough and cut in three inch squares. Then pinched all four corners together. Filling stayed in and these baked beautifully!
Madalyn says
I doubled the recipe to serve as Thanksgiving appetizers and they were a hit. None were leftover. I forwarded this recipe to a handful of others by request. I

I made these and followed the directions exactly next time I would cut the point off of the crescent roll it would make it easier to look more like the picture but what I did is roll them up and took him to a Christmas neighborhood gathering and they were gone immediately.
Also, the mix made enough for 2 10 ounce crescent roll containers so I put the other half in the freezer for my next time I make it which will be at the next party because it was so delicious and easy.
