Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent dough sheets
  • 1 cup frozen spinach thawed (or 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves)
  • ½ cup artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons jarred jalapenos diced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise reduced-fat olive oil mayo recommended
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cream cheese, spinach, artichokes, and jalapenos. Mix until everything is combined and melted together.
  4. Add salt, pepper, mayo, Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat.
  5. Open the crescent dough packages but do not unroll. Roll each into an 18-inch-long rope and cut each into 12 pieces (24 pieces total).
  6. Arrange the dough pieces into a bunny shape: one piece for the head, six surrounding pieces, four for the ears, and the remaining pieces forming the body.
  7. Spoon the spinach artichoke dip into the center of the bunny’s body and a bit into the ears. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 15-16 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  9. Remove from the oven, give the dip a stir if desired, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Customize the dip with extra jalapenos for more heat or substitute with mild green chilies for less spice.
  • Serve with extra crackers, fresh veggies, or toasted bread for dipping.
  • Perfect for Easter celebrations but can be shaped into other fun designs for different occasions.
