Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Spinach Dip:

1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bunny Bread:

2 cans refrigerated crescent roll sheets (or regular crescent roll dough)
Flour (for rolling dough)

Directions

1. Prepare the Spinach Dip:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, ½ cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until melted and well combined.
Mix in the drained spinach and continue cooking for a couple of minutes until everything is heated through. Keep warm on low heat while shaping the bunny bread.

2. Shape the Bunny Bread:

If using crescent roll sheets, roll each tube of dough into an 18-inch rope. If using regular crescent roll dough, pinch the perforations together before rolling.
Cut each rope into 12 pieces. Set aside four pieces to create bunny ears.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the dough pieces into a bunny shape, forming a round circle for the face and using the reserved pieces to shape the ears.

3. Assemble and Bake:

Spoon the warm spinach dip into the center of the bunny’s face and a little into the ears.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese over the dip.
Bake for 18 minutes or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while the dip is hot and melty.

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dip for extra heat.
Herbed Dough: Sprinkle garlic powder or Italian seasoning over the dough before baking for extra flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store leftover spinach dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The bread is best enjoyed fresh.
Reheating: Warm the dip in the microwave or oven before serving. If needed, bake the bread separately for a few minutes to crisp it back up.
Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture of the crescent rolls and spinach dip may change when thawed.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prepare the spinach dip ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just reheat it before assembling and baking the bunny.

What can I serve with this dip?

Aside from the crescent rolls, you can serve it with crackers, vegetable sticks, or toasted baguette slices.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes! Sauté 4 cups of fresh spinach until wilted, then chop and squeeze out excess moisture before adding it to the dip.

How do I keep the dip warm for longer?

You can transfer the dip to a mini slow cooker on the warm setting to keep it melty and delicious.

Can I add other cheeses to the dip?

Absolutely! Try mixing in cheddar, gouda, or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
