Spinach, Artichoke and Feta Bites

(Pic to be loaded soon)


Ingredients :

  • Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls - 1 can (8 oz)
(You can use the seamless dough or the crescent rolls, both are refrigerated ones)

  • Frozen Creamed Spinach - 1 box (10 oz)
  • Marinated Artichokes - 1 jar (about 6 oz)
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes - 2 tbsp (oil-packed)
  • Crumbled Feta Cheese - 1/4 cup

Method :
  • Open the crescent roll dough as per the instructions on the package. Unroll it on a clean work surface (kitchen counter). Form a big rectangle of the dough by firmly pressing edges and sealing any gaps.
  • Using a pizza cutter (or a knife may be), cut the rectangular shaped flat dough sheet into 6*4 rows and make 24 little squares out of it.
  • Take a mini muffin pan and grease with cooking spray.
    • Heat the oven to 375 F.
    • Put the squares into the mini muffin cups by pressing gently into the cups.
    • Drain the artichoke, dry it and then chop it info smaller bits.
    • Drain the excess oil out of the sun-dried tomatoes and chop it info smaller bits.
    • Defrost the spinach. (The original recipe calls for following package instructions and cooking the spinach in the microwave but I used it directly, only after just thawing it.)
    • Now comes the dressing and filling the cup time. Add about 3/4 tsp Artichokes, 1 heap-full tsp Spinach, a few bits of the tomato and sprinkle a bit of feta cheese to each cup.
    • Bake fro about 11 to 13 minutes, making sure the dough is deep golden brown.
    • Take it out and let it stand 1 minute in the muffin pan.
    • Remove from muffin cups with fork and serve warm.
