They offer a satisfying crunch with every bite, making them a crowd-pleasing treat that disappears quickly. Simple ingredients come together to create a dish that feels both homemade and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, onion soup mix, beaten eggs, ricotta cheese, and shredded mozzarella.
  4. Stir the mixture until well combined and creamy.
  5. Unroll the refrigerated crescent rolls and separate into triangles according to package directions.
  6. Cut each triangle in half to create smaller triangles.
  7. Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto the wide end of each small triangle.
  8. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal.
  9. Use a fork to crimp the edges to ensure they stay closed during baking.
  10. Arrange turnovers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
  12. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Note

Ensure the spinach is thoroughly dried before mixing to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.

The recipe mentions ricotta and mozzarella in the directions but does not list them in the ingredients section; please add them to your shopping list.

For best results, brush the tops of the turnovers with a little melted butter or egg wash before baking for an extra golden shine.

These can be frozen before baking. Arrange on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the cook time.
