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 spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  • 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 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 warm and enjoy your festive Christmas tree spinach dip puff pastry with family and friends!
