Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup (plant-based) ricotta
- 1 clove garlic (natural), minced
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Dough
- 1 package crescent dough (plant-based)
Instructions
- Prepare the Spinach Filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add fresh spinach and minced garlic (natural), sauté until spinach wilts and excess moisture evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool slightly for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine sautéed spinach and garlic with plant-based ricotta, nutmeg (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until evenly mixed but still light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate into triangles along perforations for individual wraps.
- Fill and Wrap: Place a generous spoonful of the spinach ricotta filling near the wide edge of each crescent triangle. Roll each triangle tightly towards the pointed end to form a crescent shape, sealing the filling inside.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange wrapped crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from cooked spinach to prevent soggy wraps.
- Use a small scoop to evenly portion filling for consistent results.
- Pinch dough edges tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Preheat oven properly for perfect flaky texture and golden tops.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
