Easter Bunny Crescent Bites
A delicious Easter appetizer made from a crescent roll bite filled with spinach-artichoke dip and topped with two cute Easter bunny ears made from crescent roll dough!
Equipment
- 1 circular cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 2 cans Crescent Roll Dough
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chopped (parsley, chives))
Spinach-Artichoke Dip
- 1/3 cup artichoke hearts (from can, drained and chopped)
- 1/3 cup frozen spinach (thawed, squeeze out excess moisture and chop)
- 2 tablespoons onion (finely diced)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a mini-muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and pinch seams together to form two rectangles.
- Cut out 2-3" circles (this should yield 8 circles, 4 out of each rectangle of crescent dough). Gently press each crescent roll circle into the mini-muffin pan and pierce the bottom with a fork.
- Use leftover edges of the crescent roll dough to carve out 8 sets of bunny ears (about 1 - 1.5 inches tall) with a sharp knife. You'll need 16 individual ears for 8 pairs. Place the ears on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place both the muffin tin and baking sheet in the oven. The bunny ears will be done in about 3-5 minutes, watch carefully so they don't burn. The crescent roll bites bake in 8-10 minutes, remove from oven when they are golden brown.
- Use the back of a wooden spoon to carefully press down into the center of each baked crescent bite to form a well for the filling. Set aside.
- To make spinach-artichoke dip, stir together all ingredients. You will have some leftover (enjoy with tortilla chips) but reserve about 1 cup for this recipe.
- Scoop the spinach-artichoke dip (or dip of your choosing) into each baked crescent bite.
- Carefully press a pair of bunny ears into the filling.
- Garnish with chopped herbs like parsley or chives. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have a round cookie cutter, you can use a glass or jar flipped upside down to make your rounds!
