Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 (12 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained, patted dry, chopped
- 1 (10 oz) fresh spinach, cooked down to wilt a bit
- 6 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 oz Parmesan cheese, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 (8 oz) tubes crescent rolls
- flour for dusting counter
Instructions
-
Part 1: Prep the Filling
-
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the spinach. Stir constantly until it has wilted, then immediately remove from heat and set it aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in the artichoke hearts, wilted spinach, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan until everything is fully combined.
Part 2: Assemble the Rolls
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly brush a 9×13-inch pan with some melted butter, and set the remaining butter aside for later.
-
On a lightly floured surface, unroll both tubes of crescent rolls side by side. Press the perforations together to create one large rectangle of dough.
-
Spread the artichoke mixture evenly over the dough. Starting from one of the short sides, roll the dough up tightly into a 15-inch-long log.
-
Cut the log into 15 slices, each about 1-inch thick. Arrange the slices side by side in the prepared pan.
-
Generously brush the tops of the buns with the remaining melted butter.
Part 3: Bake the Buns
-
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown. If they begin browning too quickly, tent the pan with foil.
-
Let the buns cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
