Spinach Feta Stuffed Crescents Tips
Be sure to squeeze the spinach really well before adding it to the feta mixture. Otherwise, your crescents will be too wet and won’t hold together well.
I like to use pre-shredded cheese for this recipe because it’s easier and less messy. But you can definitely shred your own cheese if you prefer.
You can use either fresh or frozen spinach for this recipe. If you use frozen spinach, just be sure to thaw it first and squeeze out all the excess water before adding it to the feta mixture.
These crescents can be served warm or cold. If you’re serving them cold, I recommend reheating them for a few minutes in the oven or microwave before serving.
