Ingredients
- 2 cans Crescent Roll Dough
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped – parsley, chives)
- 1/3 cup artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 1/3 cup frozen spinach (thawed, squeezed dry, and chopped)
- 2 tbsp onion (finely diced)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep & Cut – Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray. Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough, pinching the seams together to create two rectangles. Use a round cookie cutter (2-3 inches) to cut out 8 dough circles and press them into a mini-muffin pan cavity. Pierce the bottoms with a fork.
- Shape the Bunny Ears – Use the leftover crescent dough to cut out 16 bunny ears (about 1 – 1.5 inches tall) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake – Bake the bunny ears for 3-5 minutes and the crescent bites for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. After baking, press the center of each crescent bite with the back of a wooden spoon to create a well for the filling.
- Make the Spinach-Artichoke Dip – In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, parmesan, garlic, onion, salt, artichoke hearts, and spinach until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Bunny Bites – Fill each crescent bite with about 1 tbsp of dip, gently press a pair of bunny ears into the filling, and garnish with chopped herbs.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the bunny ears while baking, as they brown quickly.
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time for quick assembly.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
