Best Recipe for Spinach-Feta Crescents
Ingredients
- One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 ounces crumbed garlic-and-herb feta cheese (about 1/2 cup)
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- All-purpose flour, for working the dough
- Two 8-ounce cans refrigerated crescent-roll dough
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the spinach in a kitchen towel and wring very dry (to get about 1/2 cup dry spinach). Put the spinach into a large bowl, breaking up the clumps with your fingers. Add the cream cheese, feta, scallions, dill, Parmesan, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Mix well.
- Lightly flour your hands and work surface. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles along the perforated lines. Put about a tablespoon of filling at the shortest end of a triangle, and roll. Place the roll, point-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, tucking in the ends to form a crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining triangles and filling, spacing the rolls at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Brush the dough with the egg wash and bake until puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let the crescents cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
