Ingredients
For the Spinach Artichoke Dip:
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry
1 cup canned artichoke hearts, finely chopped
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Bread:
2 cans (16 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prep Pan:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Spinach Artichoke Dip:
In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until completely blended.
3. Assemble the Bread Balls:
Open the biscuit dough and separate the pieces. Gently flatten each piece. Scoop 1 tablespoon of spinach artichoke dip onto the center of each dough round. Fold up the edges and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
4. Arrange the Tree Shape:
Position the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them to create the shape of a Christmas tree.
5. Brush with Butter and Bake:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the dough balls. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach a golden brown color.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Allow to cool slightly, then sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm with the remaining spinach artichoke dip for dipping.
