Spinach Artichoke Buns

These delicious buns are easy to make but look fancy enough to come from a bakery. Cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, red pepper, salt, black pepper and onion powder are mixed together. Then chopped artichokes, spinach, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses are added to the mix. Next tubes of crescent rolls are rolled out and the artichoke mixture is spread on top. The dough is rolled up and sliced. Then the buns are placed in a baking dish and brushed with butter and baked until golden.

Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 15 buns

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 12 oz jar artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 10 oz frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 6 oz white cheddar cheese shredded (about 1 ½ cup)
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese grated (½ cup)
  • Flour
  • 2 8 oz tubes crescent rolls

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly brush 9x13 baking dish with melted butter; reserve remaining butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, red pepper, salt, black pepper and onion powder until smooth. Stir in artichokes, spinach, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until combined.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unroll both tubes of crescent rolls, arranging side by side. Press perforations to form a 15x14 rectangle. Spread the artichoke mixture over the top of the dough.
  4. Starting with one short side, roll into a large 15 inch log. Cut the roll into 15 (1 inch) slices. Arrange cut side up and side by side in prepared dish. Generously brush tops with melted butter.
  5. Bake rolls, tenting with foil if browning too fast, until golden, about 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve warm.
