Ingredients
- 2 tubes of Pillsbury Crescents®
- 8 oz Neufchatel cheese, room temperature
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups chopped spinach
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by either covering it with parchment paper or giving it a light coat of cooking spray.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Neufchatel cheese, shredded mozzarella, and chopped spinach. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with a splash of water, then set it aside for later use.
- Assemble the Crescents: Open the Pillsbury Crescents® and separate the dough into individual triangles. Spoon a small amount (about 1–2 tablespoons) of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. Place each crescent seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of the egg mixture on top of each crescent, creating a shiny, golden sheen.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed up and have a rich golden color. Once done, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
