These were quite good. If I can find a way to make them healthier, I'd totally make them again. I did try my extra filling baked in a ramekin dish - a little bit like a spinach and artichoke dip. I couldn't fit 3 Tbsp. in each by a long shot (MAYBE 2...but they were all overflowing). I used 2 packs of rolls and still had a lot of filling left over

Definately 5 stars. I ate these as dinner tonight by themselves. I had to fight the urge to add parmesan cheese to the filling and I'm glad I didn't, these are just perfect as they are. Sure to make again.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutely fantastic!! I've prepared this, exactly as written, twice, and have made a meal out of it for my whole family. I found also, that meats can be added in, with even more wonderful results. We cooked boneless chicken, sliced thin, and wrapped it in the rolls with the rest of the ingredients......it was beyond good. This is absolutely a keeper.

Super simple and easy to make. Definitely need more than one crescent rolls container, maybe 3 in order to use all the filling. They came out great and I'll be making these the next fine I have company
