Spinach Dip Evergreen Tree
The branches will fly off this tasty tree!
Ingredients
- 8 oz Frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar OR mozzarella cheese
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll or thin crust pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat together the spinach and cream cheese.
- Add garlic, salt, onion powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning and beat to combine.
- Add Parmesan cheese and the cheddar or mozzarella cheese and beat to combine.
- Lay out dough on a piece of parchment paper and cut each rectangle into a large triangle, discarding the excess dough. Place filling on top of one triangle in an even layer. Cover filling with second triangle and pinch edges to seal. Transfer parchment paper with tree onto a baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, leaving an inch of dough uncut running vertically down the center, make cuts into dough on each side, about 1 inch apart. These will be the branches. Take each cut section and twist and put back in place.
- Bake for about 22 minutes until quite golden brown on top and cooked through on the bottom.
- Melt butter and stir in garlic salt and seasoning, then brush over pastry
Notes
Brush dough with a beaten egg before baking for a glossy finish if desired
