Welcome to Good 2 Eat, where every Thursday 2une In will be cooking with Chef Kevin Belton to show you a new and delicious recipe to try at home!Spinach Dip Christmas Trees12 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry6 oz. cream cheese, softened2 garlic cloves, minced1/2 tsp. kosher salt1/2 tsp. onion powder1/4 tsp. chili powder1/4 tsp. pepper1 tsp. Italian seasoning1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated1 pkg. puff pastry, defrosted1 egg, beaten1 Tbsp. waterPreheat oven to 350 degrees.In a bowl, beat together the spinach and cream cheese. Add garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Beat until creamy.To make the Christmas tree shape, place puff pastry onto a sheet of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter to cut both pieces into the shape of a Christmas tree.Spread the spinach dip across the one of the trees you cut. Flip the remaining tree over on top so you have layers of dough with spinach dip sandwiched between them.Make cuts, leaving about an inch in the center intact. Cut from near the center out to the side on both the left and right every inch or so to create slices.Grab each slice and twist it upwards. At the top where they are short only twist halfway around. At the bottom where they are longer do two or three full twists.Mix the egg and water together, using a pastry brush coat entire surface with egg wash. Bake for 30-35 minutes until quite golden brown on top and cooked through on the bottom.Permalink| Comments
