Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans Crescent Roll Dough
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped, such as parsley or chives)
  • 1/3 cup artichoke hearts (from can, drained and chopped)
  • 1/3 cup frozen spinach (thawed, excess moisture squeezed out, and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons onion (finely diced)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is crucial for achieving that golden-brown crust. If you skip this step, your bites may not cook evenly.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, chopped artichoke hearts, thawed spinach, minced garlic, diced onions, parmesan cheese, salt, and fresh herbs. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy. Look for a smooth texture; if it's too chunky, continue mixing.
  3. Open the first can of Crescent Roll Dough. Unroll the dough and separate it into four rectangles by pressing the perforations together. If you're having trouble, gently stretch the dough to ensure it's even and cohesive.
  4. Take a generous spoonful of the creamy filling and place it in the center of each rectangle. A tablespoon works perfectly for this. Be careful not to overfill, or the filling will ooze out during baking!
  5. Fold the sides of the rectangle over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. You want to create a little pocket for the filling. Ensure that it’s tightly sealed to prevent any leaks while baking.
  6. With the remaining dough, cut out small triangles for bunny ears. You can create these by cutting out two triangles from the remaining dough for each bite. Keep them small—about 1 inch in height—so they don’t overpower the bites.
  7. Place the stuffed bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for expansion. Lay the bunny ears on top, pressing lightly to adhere. This adds to the adorable presentation!
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking; they should be golden on top but not burnt.
  9. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This helps the filling set slightly, making them easier to eat.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors and fun presentation of your Easter Bunny Crescent Bites!
