46 Fabulous Crescent Roll Recipes

What is crescent dough?

Crescent dough is a layered dough that bakes up light and flaky. Store bought crescent roll dough comes in a can and is located in the refrigerated section near the cookie dough and breadstick dough. Crescent dough is available both in sheet form, and in roll form which is pre-cut into triangle shapes. Many brands of store bought crescent roll dough are dairy free.

How do you bake crescent rolls?

To bake standard crescent rolls, you will need to roll up each triangle of dough and bend them into a crescent shape. Place the rolls on an ungreased pan and bake at 375 degrees F for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Many of these crescent roll recipes call for shaping the dough into different forms, so the bake times may vary.

Spinach and artichoke dip is a classic party appetizer that never goes out of style. These spinach and artichoke dip crescent cups are the best of both worlds – a creamy and delicious dip in golden brown dough. It’s like your own mini bread bowl of dip! I like to make these crescent cups in a standard muffin tin for a hearty snack or light meal, but you can also make them in a mini muffin tin for a more bite sized appetizer. Simply cut the crescent roll dough into smaller pieces and watch your bake time to make sure the cups don’t get overly browned.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip Crescent Cups

8 Servings

  • 1 tube crescent roll sheet dough
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 1 box frozen spinach, thawed drained and excess liquid squeezed out
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided use
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray. Lay out the crescent roll sheet on a flat surface and cut into 8 equal squares. Press a square of dough into each muffin cup. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, artichokes, spinach, garlic, half the mozzarella cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the dip into each of the crescent roll cups. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cups are golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
