This versatile recipe can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. Usually, I have most of the ingredients already on hand in the refrigerator and cupboard.

Tuna Spinach Braid Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

30 30 60

Ingredients

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can (6-1/2 ounces) tuna, well drained and flaked
1 cup (8 ounces) cream-style cottage cheese, well drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
3 slices (3 ounces) mozzarella or provolone cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Directions

In a small bowl, combine spinach, tuna, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese and garlic; set aside.
Unroll crescent roll dough onto waxed paper; do not separate dough. Press to seal seams and perforations. Cover with another piece of waxed paper. Roll dough to form a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle.
Transfer dough to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan, discarding waxed paper. Spread filling down center of dough lengthwise in a 3-1/2-in. strip. Top with mozzarella cheese.
On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips almost to edge of filling. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling; pinch ends to seal. Combine egg with water and brush over top. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 10-12 appetizer or 4-6 main dish servings.

Looked forward to making this dish, but was quite disappointed in the results. Something about the tuna and spinach combination just didn't work well together. Definitely won't be making this again.

Made this tonight. It is simple and quick-had everything on hand. My picky husband loved it. Wants to take leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
