Ingredients

12 oz Frozen spinach thawed and chopped
6 oz cream cheese softened
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp chili powder optional
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
2 tubes refrigerated pizza crust
1 large egg beaten
2 tbsp butter melted
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Spinach Cream Cheese Mixture:

In a large bowl, add the thawed and squeezed spinach, cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy,
Fold in the grated parmesan cheese and the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Shape the Breadsticks into a Christmas Tree

Unroll the pizza crust dough onto the baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut a large triangle.
Evenly spread the spinach mixture over the crust.
Place a second sheet of dough over it and trim it to shape like a tree.
Twist the Branches: Cut 1-inch slits on both sides of the tree for branches, leaving the center intact as the trunk. Twist each cut section for effect.
Brush the tree with the beaten egg.

Bake and Brush with Butter Mixture:

Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Mix the melted butter and garlic powder in a bowl. Once out of the oven, brush the tree with this mixture. Serve warm and enjoy!
