Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing the seams together to form a single rectangle.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 8

Distribute the cooked spinach and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Starting from one of the longer edges of the dough, carefully roll it up into a log. Pinch the edges to seal the seam.

Step 10

Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the surface with a beaten egg.

Step 11

Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor and texture.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, make small diagonal slits on the top to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the crescent bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Let the bread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
