Spinach Cheese Bites Recipe Using Homemade Crescent Dough

November 21, 2018 By Sangeetha Priya 1 Comment

spinach cheese bites using crescent dough I have made this Spinach Cheese Bites with Homemade Crescent Dough twice this week for us and to welcome kiddos friends who came for play date. Since they are on Holiday break keeping them busy with friends, parties and obviously food. So I made the dough in bulk and frozen it. I have recently posted two versions of the homemade dough If you missed it out do check it HERE. And whenever needed thaw the dough and use according to the recipe needs. Also my younger one is not a spinach lover so something in this mini form attracts him to taste few at least. Of course he liked it 🙂

  • Shred the cheese (pic 4) and add it to the mixture (pic 5), keep ready.

How to make Spinach Cheese Bites

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • If the muffin pan is non-stick no need to grease otherwise lightly spray mini muffin cups with oil or melted butter.
  • Roll homemade dough to 12 X 8 or Unroll 1 store bought dough sheet; press into 12×8-inch rectangle.
  • If the dough is so pliable you can freeze it for 5 – 10 minutes to work with.

  • Freeze them for 15 minutes at least before baking them.
  • Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until edges of dough are golden brown.
  • Immediately remove from pan to serving platter.

Notes

  1. The recipe for homemade crescent dough with 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour yields 36 mini bites as shown here, so do prepare accordingly.
  2. You can make the dough, filling ahead of time, arrange everything in a pan, freeze for a while.
  3. Then pack it in zip lock again freeze it till you need.
  4. Don’t need to thaw the assembled bites and whenever you need just bake in preheated oven as directly from the freezer.
