Ingredients
For the Spinach Dip
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Christmas Tree
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Prepare the Spinach Dip
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Assemble the Christmas Tree
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a large triangle, which will form the base of the tree. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the spinach dip evenly over the puff pastry triangle.
- Roll out the second puff pastry sheet and place it over the spinach dip-covered triangle. Trim the edges to match the shape of the bottom triangle.
- Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal slits on both sides of the triangle, leaving the center intact to form the tree trunk. These slits will be the branches.
- Twist each strip a few times to create a spiral effect, resembling tree branches.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
