Spinach Dip Bites

This next recipe I’m sharing is for Spinach Dip Bites. I had seen this recipe on Chocolate, Chocolate and More and knew we had to give it a try ourselves.You see, I’m obsessed with Spinach and Artichoke Dip {I noticed just recently that I haven’t shared any recipes for that on the site yet, so that will be changing shortly). Spinach and Artichoke Dip is one of my most favorite items to order at a restaurant. Served with warm tortilla chips, I could probably eat the whole thing with all of its cheesy goodness. Growing up I wasn’t a huge fan of Spinach (or Artichokes for that matter), but that has changed being an adult. It’s such a great combination of taste to me, and you can find that great mix in these bite-size and crunchy Spinach Dip Bites. They are so warm and cheesy and would be great for your next get together. The recipe is simple too, but I warn that you won’t be able to just eat one of these bad boys! We didn’t really change anything from the original recipe because it was already perfect. We just added a little extra cheese, since you can never go wrong with more cheesy!! 

Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen spinach, chopped and thawed
• 1 6 ounce jar Artichoke Hearts, drained and chopped
• ½ tsp. minced garlic
• 2 TB grated parmesan cheese
• 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• ½ tsp. garlic salt
• pepper to taste
• 1 can seamless Crescent Dough

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. In a bowl, combine spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic and Parmesan cheese. Blend in cream cheese and half of your mozzarella cheese. Season with Salt and pepper and set aside.
3. Using a rolling pin, lay out dough on a cutting board and lightly stretch to a 8 x 12 rectangle. Cut dough into 2 inch squares, so you have 24 squared total.
4. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin and place a square in each slot, gently pushing down to create an indent. (you don't need to mold to the cup.)
5. Scoop one teaspoon of your spinach mixture on top of each crescent square and gently push in, (bites will mold to your tin while baking). Spread the remaining mozzarella cheese over the tops of each cup.
6. Bake at 375 for 15 - 17 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before moving from tray. ENJOY!
