Ingredients
For the Spinach Dip:
- 1 spinach frozen, chopped, thawed and drained
- 1 cream cheese 8 oz package, softened
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
For the Christmas Tree:
- 2 puff pastry thawed, sheets
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 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 cut it into another large triangle, then 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 puff pastry.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Then let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve:
