Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ c. finely chopped artichoke hearts
  • ½ c. frozen spinach, defrosted, drained and finely chopped
  • ½ c. freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp. sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest (optional)
  • ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1½ c. shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp. melted butter
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat 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.
  2. Unroll 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.
  3. Cut a star out of reserved puff pastry scraps and place on top of tree. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut ½" thick "branches" on either side of tree, being careful to leave a 1" section in the center. Gently lift and twist each "branch".
  4. In a small bowl, mix together butter and garlic powder. Brush all over tree and star and bake until golden, 30 minutes.
