Ingredients
  

  • 12 dinner rolls or slider rolls
  • 250 g frozen spinach
  • 125 g sour cream
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 1 onion soup mix sachet 35 g
  • 100 g mozzarella grated
  • ½ cup milk
  • 30 g mozzarella grated, for topping
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake.
  • Arrange the dinner rolls close together on a baking tray. Using a small, sharp knife, carefully cut a round from the top of each roll. Scoop out a little of the soft bread from the center to create a hollow without cutting through the bottom.
  • Place the hollowed rolls in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. This light toasting helps prevent the creamy filling from making the bread too soft.
  • Meanwhile, microwave the frozen spinach for about 1 minute, or until thawed. Transfer it to a sieve, drain well, and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
  • Place the drained spinach in a saucepan over low heat and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the sour cream and cream cheese. Stir gently over low heat until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the onion soup mix and 100 g grated mozzarella. Pour in the milk and continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the mixture is thoroughly combined and warmed through.
  • Remove the toasted rolls from the oven. Carefully spoon the warm spinach mixture into each hollow, filling the rolls generously to the top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 30 g mozzarella over the filled rolls.
  • Return the Creamy Spinach Cob Sliders to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the mozzarella topping is melted and lightly golden.
  • Scatter freshly chopped parsley over the sliders and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter variation, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream, although the filling may be slightly less rich.
