Spinach Artichoke Bites Recipe 45

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, lemon zest, salt, spinach and artichoke hearts in a food processor. Pulse until evenly combined. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan; pulse to combine.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise over half of the bread slices. Place the slices, mayo-side down, on a second rimmed baking sheet and spread evenly with the spinach filling, all the way to the edges. Top with the other 6 slices of bread. Spread the top slices with the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Carefully, remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and place it directly on top of the sandwiches. Transfer the double-stacked baking sheets to the oven and bake until the sandwiches are golden brown and the filling is melted, about 15 minutes.
• Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-size squares or triangles. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray two muffin tins with baking spray. Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well; set aside. Roll the crescent roll dough out (one tube at a time) onto a large work surface. Seal all the perforations together so that you're left with one big piece of dough. Using a knife or pizza slicer, cut the dough into 12 roughly even squares (you'll end up with 24 squares total). Press each of the dough squares into the two muffin tins. Using a teaspoon, fill each cup with the spinach artichoke mixture. If desired, sprinkle each cup with a little shredded mozzarella. Bake for 12 minutes and cool for a couple minutes before serving.
