Ingredients

Dough

  • Crescent Roll Dough – 1 package (8 oz)

Spinach Dip Filling

  • Frozen Spinach – 1 cup, thawed and thoroughly drained
  • Cream Cheese – 4 oz, softened
  • Sour Cream – 1/4 cup
  • Shredded Cheese (sharp cheddar or mozzarella) – 1 cup
  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Onion Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach Filling: Thaw the frozen spinach completely, then squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Fold in the drained spinach until evenly mixed into a creamy, spreadable filling.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and gently press the seams together to form one large rectangle, creating a solid base for the filling.
  3. Spread the Spinach Dip Filling: Using a spatula, evenly spread the prepared spinach mixture over the dough, covering it edge to edge to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
  4. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one long side. Slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pinwheels are puffed up and golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Drain Thoroughly: Ensure the spinach is completely dry to prevent soggy pinwheels.
  • Don’t Overfill: Use a thin, even layer of filling to help pinwheels hold their shape without bursting.
  • Seal the Seams: Press crescent roll seams firmly to form one solid sheet and avoid leaks.
  • Sharp Knife: Use a sharp knife for clean, even slices and consistent baking.
  • Serve Warm: Pinwheels taste best fresh and warm, so bake close to serving time.
