Spinach Feta Stuffed Crescents

Ingredients:

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz each)
• 4 oz feta cheese crumbles
• 4 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 oz spinach, fresh or frozen
• 2 oz black olives, diced
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt, to taste

How To Make Spinach Feta Stuffed Crescents:

1. Prepare Filling:

• Chop the spinach and olives and place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Add feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, red pepper flakes, and salt to the bowl.
• Toss the ingredients thoroughly to combine and set the bowl aside.

1. Unroll Crescent Dough:

• Preheat the oven to the temperature printed on the packaging for the crescent rolls.
• Unroll the crescent dough and divide it into triangles.

1. Add Filling:

• Spoon small heaps of the spinach mixture onto the wide part of each crescent dough triangle.

1. Roll Up Crescents:

• Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and ending at the point.

1. Brush with Egg White:

• Place the rolled-up crescents on a greased cookie sheet.
• Before baking, lightly brush each crescent with the beaten egg white.

1. Bake:

• Bake for 15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown.

Tips:

• When using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well to remove excess moisture. Squeeze out any water to prevent the filling from becoming too wet.
• Customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste preferences.
• Be gentle when rolling up the crescents to avoid overpacking them with filling. A moderate amount of filling ensures that the crescents bake evenly.
• Lightly brushing the crescents with beaten egg white before baking gives them a beautiful golden brown color and a slight sheen.
• Serve the Spinach Feta Stuffed Crescents warm for the best flavor and texture.
• Consider serving these crescents with a side of marinara sauce or tzatziki for dipping.

These stuffed crescents are not only easy to make but also a crowd-pleaser with their flavorful filling and flaky exterior. Enjoy the delicious combination of spinach and feta in each bite!
