Ingredients
For the Spinach Dip:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Breadsticks:
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: sesame seeds or grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Roll out one can of crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet and pinch the seams together to form a single sheet.
- Spread the spinach dip evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Roll out the second can of dough and place it on top of the spinach dip, pressing gently to seal the edges.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to shape the dough into a large triangle resembling a Christmas tree. Reserve any excess dough for decorations if desired.
- Cut horizontal slices along the sides of the triangle, leaving a 1-inch “trunk” in the center. Twist each slice to create tree branches.
- Brush the entire tree with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or Parmesan if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can prepare the breadsticks ahead of time by assembling them and refrigerating them for up to 24 hours before baking.
Feel free to add extra toppings like crushed garlic or herbs to customize the flavor of the breadsticks.
The leftover spinach dip can be used as a dip for crackers, chips, or veggies.
