- Squeeze the spinach dry before adding it to the mixture to prevent the bites from being too wet.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the spinach so that it distributes evenly throughout the bites.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar will give the bites a more pronounced cheesy flavor.
- Use crescent roll dough that is cold and firm. This will help the bites hold their shape better when baking.
