Ingredients — 8 rolls
| Ingredient | Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerated crescent rolls | 1 can | 8 oz |
| Fresh spinach leaves | 2 | cups |
| Feta cheese, crumbled | 8 | tbsp |
Directions
1
Preheat and prep. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2
Fill the rolls. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Lay 5 spinach leaves on the widest part of each triangle, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crumbled feta over the spinach, then layer 5 more spinach leaves on top.
3
Roll and seal. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed tip, tucking the sides in as you go and pinching the ends to seal the filling inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Bake and serve. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until the rolls are puffed and deep golden brown. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside a bowl of soup.
Cook's notes
Don't overfill
Ten spinach leaves and one tablespoon of feta per roll is just right. Too much filling makes the rolls difficult to seal and the dough can burst open during baking. Keep it snug and compact before rolling.
Pinch the ends well
Take a moment to firmly pinch and tuck the side edges of each roll before baking — this keeps the feta from spilling out onto the pan as it melts. A little pressure at the seams goes a long way.
Customize the filling
This simple base works beautifully with additions — try a smear of sun-dried tomato paste on the dough before the spinach, a pinch of dried oregano or chili flakes, or swap feta for goat cheese for a creamier, milder filling.
