Can I make these Spinach Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls vegetarian friendly?

Yes. The base recipe is vegetarian. Just confirm your crescent dough and cheeses are suitable for your dietary needs.

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes. Mix the filling up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate in a sealed container. Bring to room temperature for 20 minutes before assembling so it spreads easily.

How do I keep them warm for a party?

Bake just before guests arrive, then hold on the lowest oven setting, typically 170 to 200°F, for up to 30 minutes. Place on a wire rack set inside a sheet pan so the bottoms stay crisp.

Can I use other cheeses?

Absolutely. Monterey Jack, provolone, or pepper jack all melt beautifully. Aim for at least half a cup of a good melting cheese in the mix.

What is the best way to chop the spinach quickly?

Stack the leaves, roll into a tight cylinder, then slice thinly. Run the knife through once more for fine pieces.

Do I need to cook the spinach first?

Not for fresh spinach. It softens as the crescents bake. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze very dry so the filling stays thick.
