Blooming Spinach Artichoke Cups

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip is baked in the center of bread cups that are shaped to look like blooming flowers. A fun and delicious Easter appetizer.

📝 Ingredients

• 12 Rhodes White Dinner Rolls (thawed but still cold)
• 8 oz block-style cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups artichoke hearts (chopped (approximately one 13.75oz can))
• 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a large bowl. Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, spinach, shredded parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. 2Cut each roll into fourths. Then roll each fourth into a rope. Flatten each rope with a rolling pin into a long, skinny oval about 4 to 5 inches long.
3. 3Grease a mini tart/muffin pan with baking spray. Criss-cross two pieces into the center of each mini cup, leaving the ends sticking out like flower petals.
4. 4Scoop a large spoonful of the spinach artichoke dip in the center of each cup. Repeat with remaining dough and dip until you get 24 blooming spinach artichoke cups.
5. 5Let the dough puff up a little bit, about 15 to 25 minutes. Then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown on the petals and the bottoms of the cups, checking that the dough touching the dip is cooked through. Serve warm.
