Easter Bunny Crescent Bites

Easter Bunny Crescent Bites

Yield: 8 bites From Episode 34

Cute little crescent cups stuffed with spinach-artichoke dip and finished with bunny-ear shapes cut from leftover dough—a playful Easter starter kids and adults can assemble together.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped (parsley or chives)

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat a mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and pinch the seams closed so you have two rectangles.
  3. Cut 8 circles about 2 to 3 inches across. Nestle each circle into the mini-muffin cups and prick the bottoms with a fork.
  4. From the scrap dough, cut 8 pairs of bunny ears roughly 1 to 1.5 inches tall and arrange them on the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Bake the muffin tin and sheet together. Ears are done in 3 to 5 minutes; the cups need 8 to 10 minutes until golden.
  6. Press the center of each baked cup with the back of a wooden spoon to create a well.
  7. Mix the spinach-artichoke dip, then spoon about 1 cup of dip into each bite.
  8. Gently stand a set of bunny ears in the filling, sprinkle with chopped herbs, and serve.
