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
Sue says
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!
