This is excellent. Loved the flavors of the cream cheese mixture and I can see where this would be very versatile to meet any taste. I sauteed my spinach with 4 garlic cloves before adding to the cream cheese. These were fairly easy to make. Was worried that I would lose the stuffing but it held together well. I used the extra cream cheese mixture and spread some on crescent rolls before rolling up and baking, which turned our really nice. Thanks Rita Made for ZWT4

thank you for such an easy to follow recipe, this was absolutely delicious. I changed the bread crumbs to a polenta/parmesan cheese mix and it turned out really nicely. I will definately be making these again.
