Ingredients & Substitutions
Crescent Roll Dough: I used store-bought crescent roll dough for this recipe. If using the dough with perforations, be sure to pinch the seams together. Otherwise, you can find crescent roll dough in sheet form.
Cheese: I used parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese for this recipe. These pair well together and create the perfect cheesy dip. The mozzarella cheese in these bites is in the filling, as well as on top.
Spinach: Grab a couple bags of frozen spinach to use in this recipe; let it thaw before mixing it into the dip. We did not make this with fresh spinach, which would be a different amount used to cook down to the amount of frozen spinach.
Artichokes: I used a 1/2 cup of canned artichoke hearts for the recipes, which is roughly half of a can. Don’t let the remaining artichokes go to waste, you can use them for my Spinach Artichoke Dip Pull-Apart Bread!
Can I use Store-Bought Spinach Dip?
Of course! I prefer homemade spinach dip, but to make this recipe even easier, grab a container of store-bought spinach dip to use for this appetizer.
Can I Make Spinach Dip Bites Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can easily make these bites up to 24-hours ahead of time. Simply follow the recipe card instructions for the assembly. Then, instead of baking the bites, store them in the refrigerator, covered, and bake the next day. The bake time may be slightly longer if making ahead of time.
How to Store
Leftover Spinach Dip Bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Freezing is not recommended for this recipe because of the sour cream.
