Roll out the crescent rolls or crescent sheets on parchment paper until it's about 12 inches by 8 inches.

Cut the dough into 6 rows by 4 rows using a pizza cutter to make 24 squares.

Pinch the squares together if they separate.

Chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces (3/4 cup).

Heat up 1/4 cup of creamy spinach bake in the microwave and let it sit for a bit.

Mix the chopped artichokes into the heated creamy spinach.

Pre-spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Stretch each dough square and press it into the muffin tin, making sure it goes up the sides.

Put a heaping teaspoon of the spinach and artichoke mixture on top of the dough in each muffin cup.

Top with chopped Roma tomato or sundried tomatoes if desired.

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the mixture in each muffin cup.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Bake in the oven for 11 to 13 minutes until the dough is golden brown, checking at 11 minutes.

Let the bites set for about 3 minutes after taking them out of the oven before removing them from the tin.
