Christmas Tree Puff Pastry

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
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out one puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife, shape it into a large triangle, this will be the base of your Christmas tree. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spread the spinach dip evenly over the puff pastry triangle, making sure to get all the way to the edges.
  • Roll out the second puff pastry sheet and cut it into another large triangle. Carefully place it over the spinach dip-covered triangle. Trim the edges so both layers match up.
  • 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 become the tree branches.
  • Twist each strip a few times to create a spiral effect, making it look like a real Christmas tree.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the puff pastry for extra golden, buttery goodness.
  • Bake your Christmas tree puff pastry in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is beautifully golden brown and puffed to perfection. The smell alone will have everyone gathering in the kitchen!
  • Let the tree cool for about 5 minutes before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, and you can serve it with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or just enjoy it as is!
