Ingredients

  • 6 oz fresh Spinach
  • 5 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 3/4 tsp minced Garlic divided
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • dash Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated divided
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 3/4 tbsp Parsley chopped
  • 1 Pizza Crust
  • 4 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a medium skillet heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  • When hot, add spinach and cook until wilted and hot.
  • Squeeze out moisture and chop spinach.
  • In a large bowl combine spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and the mozzarella cheese until combined.
  • Set aside.
  • First, roll out your pizza dough and cut a large triangle out of it. This will leave you with one large triangle and two smaller ones.
  • Leave the large triangle on some parchment paper and transfer the two smaller ones to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. We're going to pinch these two smaller triangles together to form the base of our tree. It doesn't have to look pretty- this is going to be the bottom.
  • Evenly spread the prepared spinach dip over this triangle.
  • Distribute 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan over spinach dip.
  • Now take that larger triangle from earlier and place it over our dip-covered tree.
  • Use a pizza cutter to start cutting 1" wide strips on each sidee. You'll likely end up making about 11 branches here. Make sure you don't cut through the center.
  • Give each branch a twist.
  • Bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
  • Rotate sheet and bake another 6 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of minced garlic. Mix to combine.
  • Brush the tree with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining shredded parmesan.
  • Return to oven to cook until golden brown (about 3 minutes).
