INGREDIENT NOTES:

SPINACH:

• We use spinach to provide freshness and color to these crescent rolls. As a replacement, you can use frozen spinach, Swiss chard, or kale.

FETA CHEESE:

• Feta cheese is utilized to give a tangy Mediterranean flavor and creamy texture. As an alternative, you can use goat cheese, ricotta salata, or halloumi.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• Mozzarella helps to create a melty filling and balances the salty taste. You can switch it out with provolone, Monterey Jack, or white cheddar cheese.

CRESCENT DOUGH:

• Crescent dough provides a flaky and buttery crust. As a replacement, you can use puff pastry or homemade pastry dough.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil delivers richness and real Mediterranean flavor. Also, we may utilize avocado oil.

GARLIC:

• Garlic is utilized to provide a savory texture and aromatic flavor. You can use half a teaspoon of garlic powder instead.

PARSLEY:

• Parsley delivers freshness and a mild herbal taste. As a substitute, you can use fresh dill, basil, or cilantro.

EGG WASH:

• This component helps to create a shiny & brown texture. For an egg-free option, brush the dough with olive oil or milk.

SESAME SEEDS:

• Sesame seeds will provide a light crunch and decorative finish to the rolls. As an alternative, you can use poppy seeds or omit them entirely.
