Spinach Roll with Bacon
Snacks & Appetizers
Prep time:
20 minutesCooking time:
25 minutes“For an equally tasty spinach roll that is also economical, try 1/2 cup chopped ham instead of the bacon. Look for the supermarket special-baked, boiled, low-salt or country ham will work well.”
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) package frozen French bread dough, thawed
- TOPPING:
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon and onion in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until bacon is cooked through and onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
2
Drain defrosted spinach, pressing out excess moisture. Combine bacon mixture, spinach, Cheddar, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well.
3
Unroll dough onto a baking sheet. Form into a 14-inch square with a floured rolling pin. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll up dough jelly-roll style. Pinch edges.
4
For topping, brush dough with egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake roll until golden, about 25 minutes. Slice and serve.

If you are in a rush, skip step 1. Instead, mix 2 tablespoons packaged bacon bits and 2 tablespoons freeze-dried onions together and proceed as recipe directs.
