Ingredients
- 4 oz.
cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup
finely chopped artichoke hearts
- 1/4 cup
frozen spinach, defrosted, drained and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup
freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 Tbsp.
sour cream (optional)
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp.
lemon zest (optional)
- 1/2 tsp.
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 2
sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted
- 3/4 cup
shredded mozzarella
- 2 Tbsp.
melted butter
- 1/2 tsp.
garlic powder
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 375° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir cream cheese, artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan, sour cream, garlic, and lemon zest and red pepper flakes (if using) until combined. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
- Step 2Unroll both pastry sheets onto baking tray, and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut a Christmas tree shape into the dough; reserve scraps. Remove top tree cut-out, and spread cream cheese mixture on bottom layer. Sprinkle with mozzarella then top with second tree cutout.
- Step 3Cut a star out of reserved puff pastry scraps and place on top of tree. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut 1/2" thick "branches" on either side of tree, being careful to leave a 1" section in the center. Gently lift and twist each "branch".
- Step 4In a small bowl, mix together butter and garlic powder. Brush all over tree and star and bake until golden, 30 minutes.
