Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 18-inch by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough (do not separate into individual pieces) and pat into an 8-inch by 12-inch rectangle, gently pressing the seams closed.
Brush evenly with the mustard and then then top with the spinach, Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar, scallions and peppers, leaving a ½-inch border all the way around. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.
Roll the dough sheet into a log, starting with a short side. Slice into 8 pinwheels and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, 18 to 20 minutes.
