Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a party appetizer, these rolls deliver comfort, nutrition, and visual appeal. With a lightly seasoned, well-drained spinach mixture tucked inside buttery layers, every bite offers a harmonious balance of crispiness and softness, enlivened by a subtle heat from chili pepper.
