Ingredients

  • 1 box (9 oz) Green Giant® frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
  • 1/3 cup garlic-and-herbs spreadable cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (1 oz)
  • 1/4 cup shredded 5-cheese or 6-cheese Italian cheese blend (1 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano or regular Romano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot or onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, if desired
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper, if desired
  • 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
  • 24 paper-thin slices (about 4 inch diameter) smoked ham (from two 9-oz packages)*
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

1
Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except dough, ham and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Set aside.

2
Unroll dough. Separate or cut dough into 4 rectangles (if using crescent dough, press perforations to seal). Cut each rectangle into 6 (2-inch) squares. Press 1 square in bottom and up side of each of 24 ungreased mini muffin cups.

3
Pat each ham slice dry with paper towel. Place 1 ham slice over dough in each cup (edges of ham will be higher than side of cup.) Spoon rounded 1 teaspoon spinach mixture onto ham in center of each cup.

4
Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is hot. To prevent excessive browning of ham, cover lightly with foil after first 5 minutes of baking. Cool in pan 1 minute. Gently remove from pan; let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve warm.
