Equipment
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- For the Spinach Dip:
- 1 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Christmas Tree:
- 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp 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: Serve warm and enjoy your festive Christmas tree spinach dip puff pastry with family and friends!
