Description

Create a stunning and delicious Spinach Puff Pastry Christmas Tree, a festive centerpiece perfect for holiday parties. This recipe features buttery puff pastry filled with a creamy, cheesy spinach dip, shaped and baked into a golden, flaky Christmas tree that’s as fun to make as it is to share. It’s an easy yet impressive appetizer that guarantees to be a hit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the spinach filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Assemble the tree: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into a large triangle for the base. Transfer it to the baking sheet. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the triangle.
  3. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and cut it into another large triangle. Place it on top of the filling and trim the edges to match.
  4. With a sharp knife, make horizontal cuts on each side of the triangle, leaving a solid strip down the center for the trunk. Twist each strip a few times to create branches.
  5. Add flavor: Mix melted butter with garlic powder, then brush it all over the puff pastry for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool: Let the spinach puff pastry Christmas tree cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy tearing off the branches.
