Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 16 crescents

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 ounces crumbed garlic-and-herb feta cheese (about 1/2 cup)
3 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for working the dough
Two 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent-roll dough
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the spinach in a kitchen towel and wring very dry (to get about 1/2 cup dry spinach). Put the spinach into a large bowl, breaking up the clumps with your fingers. Add the cream cheese, feta, scallions, dill, Parmesan, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Mix well.
  • Lightly flour your hands and work surface. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles along the perforated lines. Put about a tablespoon of filling at the shortest end of a triangle, and roll. Place the roll, point-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, tucking in the ends to form a crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining triangles and filling, spacing the rolls at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  • Brush the dough with the egg wash and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let the crescents cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Squeeze out excess moisture: Before adding the spinach to the filling, be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture. This will help prevent the filling from becoming watery.
  • Don't overfill the crescents: When filling the crescents, be sure to leave a little bit of space at the edges. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out while baking.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the crescents until they are golden brown and the filling is heated through. This will ensure that the crescents are cooked all the way through.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature: Spinach crescents are best served warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
