Description
Christmas Tree Spinach Dip Breadsticks: a festive, buttery pull-apart appetizer shaped like a Christmas tree and filled with creamy spinach dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or crescent roll sheet)
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: red pepper flakes or diced pimientos for tree ornaments
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper until creamy and combined.
- Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into two equal rectangles.
- Spread the spinach dip mixture evenly over one sheet of dough, then place the second sheet on top.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into the shape of a large Christmas tree (triangle with a trunk).
- Cut 1-inch strips along both sides of the tree and gently twist each strip to form branches.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and ornaments (like diced peppers or cherry tomatoes) before serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute crescent roll sheet for the pizza dough if desired.
- Make-ahead tip: assemble and refrigerate up to 2 hours before baking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for a few minutes.
- Try adding diced peppers as ornaments for extra color.
- Best served warm for gooey, melty texture.
