Ingredients

12 Hawaiian Rolls
9 oz cream cheese softened
2 cups mozzarella cheese 6.4 oz, divided and shredded
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese 1.5 oz, shredded
10 oz frozen spinach thawed and drained, about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups
2 cups artichoke hearts chopped, or a 13.5 oz can
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley or 1 tablespoon fresh, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch 7 g

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease a 9X13 baking dish.
Prep Spinach and Artichokes: Drain artichokes and chop into small pieces. Thaw spinach and squeeze out excess moisture in a cheese cloth or gently press into a colander over a sink or bowl.
Prep Filling: Add cream cheese to a medium sized microwaveable safe dish. Heat for 30 seconds to soften. Add 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped artichokes, spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, and cornstarch. Mix well.
(No need to soften in the microwave freshly made cream cheese - but be sure to get as much moisture out of that fresh cheese before using)
Fill Rolls: Slice Hawaiian Rolls in half and layer the bottom halves in the lightly greased baking tray. Layer the cheesy spinach and artichoke mixture over the roll halves, then top with the other roll halves. Sprinkle with rema the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the tops of the rolls are slightly browned.
Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Substiutions

Spinach: To use fresh spinach, use 1 lb of fresh. Blanch it and then squeeze out any excess liquid, and give it a good chop.

Artichokes: Unmarinated artichokes are best for this recipe.

Garlic: Use 1 teaspoon of fresh minced garlic in place of the garlic powder. Or measure that garlic level with your heart - garlic amounts are always subjective!

Rolls: These sliders are the perfect excuse to make a batch of our Homemade Hawaiian Rolls, but our Easy Dinner Rolls From Scratch or Homemade Sweet Potato Rolls are delicious for them, too! Or use whatever your favorite store-bought rolls are.
