Easter Bunny Crescent Bites

Easter Bunny Crescent Bites

Yield: 8 bites From Episode 34

Adorable crescent roll cups filled with spinach-artichoke dip and topped with bunny ears made from extra dough—a fun Easter appetizer the whole family can help make.

Ingredients

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

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and pinch seams together to form two rectangles.
  3. Cut out 2 to 3-inch circles (8 total). Gently press each circle into the mini-muffin pan and pierce the bottom with a fork.
  4. Use leftover dough to carve out 8 sets of bunny ears (about 1 to 1.5 inches tall). Place ears on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake both the muffin tin and baking sheet. Ears finish in 3 to 5 minutes; crescent cups bake 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press down the center of each baked crescent bite to form a well.
  7. Stir together spinach-artichoke dip ingredients. Scoop about 1 cup of dip into each bite.
  8. Carefully press a pair of bunny ears into the filling. Garnish with chopped herbs and serve.
