Total Time 25 minutes mins
- 1 can 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup frozen spinach thawed and drained
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a spicy kick
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the crescent roll dough and cut it into 24 small squares.
Press each square into the mini muffin tin, shaping it into a cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until well combined.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the spinach dip mixture into each crescent roll cup.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
