Cheese & Spinach Croissants
Warm croissant (or crescent) rolls filled with a creamy, cheesy spinach filling. These are simple to put together for a tasty breakfast, side dish or snack!
Ingredients
- 1 can croissant dough or crescent roll
- 8 oz (225 g) frozen spinach
- ½ cup (60 g) cheese, grated
- 5 Tbsp cream cheese
- a few pinches nutmeg
- 1 egg white, whisked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven - use the temperature indicated on your croissant / crescent dough pack.
- Prepare the filling. Defrost the spinach and press out as much of the moisture as you can (I do this by microwaving the spinach and then pressing it in a potato ricer to get the liquid out). Then mix with the cream cheese, cheese, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add a couple spoonfuls onto each croissant piece and then roll up the croissant around it.
- Brush a little whisked egg white over the top of each croissant.
- Bake for the amount of time indicated on your croissant / crescent dough pack.
