🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 2 cans (8 oz each) Crescent roll dough
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 teaspoons Dried onion flakes
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 small amount Butter or cooking spray (to grease pan)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a crust. Seal any perforations in the dough with your fingers. Set aside the second can of dough for the top layer.

3. Bake the bottom crust for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.

4. Thaw the frozen chopped spinach in the microwave or at room temperature. Once thawed, squeeze out excess moisture using a clean dish towel or paper towels.

5. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

6. Stir the thawed, drained spinach into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

7. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the pre-baked crescent dough crust in the baking dish.

8. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully place it over the spinach mixture. Stretch it gently to cover the filling completely. Seal any perforations.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly at the edges.

10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
