1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

BUTTERY CHEESE TOPPING
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, ½ cup parmesan cheese, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne pepper; mix well. Add spinach artichoke hearts, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese; mix until thoroughly combined.
Slice rolls in half horizontally without separating and place bottom half on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread spinach mixture evenly over rolls, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Place top half of rolls over the cheese.
To make the Buttery Cheese Topping, in a small bowl, combine melted butter and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese; mix well. Brush mixture over tops of rolls. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake for 5 minutes or until heated through.

Test Kitchen Tip

If you want, go ahead and make these in advance, and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them off. If you do, you might need to add a few extra minutes to make sure they’re heated through.
