With This Snack You Will Surprise Everyone!

Christmas always casts a long shadow – not only in the run-up to the festive season, but also afterwards. An example? Who, pray tell, doesn’t still eat the sweets treasures from the holidays in spring! So if snacks like these are already considered to be legit year-round, why not baked goods with a Christmas touch? Even more so if it’s as tasty and non-seasonal as the treat we’d like to share with you here…

What you need

12 oz chopped spinach
6 oz cream cheese
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
2 oz grated cheddar cheese
1 pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

And here’s how

Mix the spinach and the cream cheese in a bowl, meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add the spices (garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper and Italian herbs) while stirring.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and half of the cheddar cheese (the other half of the cheddar or mozzarella cheese will be sprinkled over the filling when shaping the Christmas tree).

Shape the dough into a Christmas tree while filling in the spinach mixture; sprinkle the other half of the cheese on top.

Bake for about 20 minutes; top should be golden brown, bottom baked through.

Melt butter, season with garlic salt and spices, then brush over dough.
