Spinach Dip Crescent Wreath

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 3 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
• 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2-3 tablespoons Kelchner's Creamy Horseradish Sauce
• 2 (8 oz) tubes crescent roll dough (16 triangles, use 12 for the recipe)
• 1 large egg (for egg wash, beaten)
• Optional toppings: sliced cherry tomatoes, decorative bow
• Optional garnish: melted butter and Italian seasoning

Directions

2. Heat cream cheese in a saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and stir until the cream cheese is smooth and melted. If it starts sticking to the bottom, lower the heat.

3. Mix in the garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper.

4. Stir in the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until well combined. The mixture should be warm but doesn’t need to completely melt the cheeses. Add 2-3 tablespoons of Kelchner's Creamy Horseradish Sauce.

5. Unroll both packages of crescent rolls and separate the triangles. You’ll need 12 triangles for this recipe.

6. Prepare a baking pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. Use a large bowl to trace a circle on the parchment as a guide for shaping the wreath.

7. Place a 5 to 5.5-inch bowl in the center of the baking pan. Arrange the 12 crescent triangles around the bowl in a star-like pattern, with the tips pointing outward and the wide edges overlapping around the bowl.

8. Spoon the spinach filling evenly onto the crescent dough, forming a ring around the bowl. Flatten the filling slightly.

9. Take away the bowl from the center. Fold each triangle of dough over the filling, tucking the tips underneath to secure them. Make sure to leave small gaps between the triangles so the filling peeks through.

10. Brush the top of the wreath with an egg wash to give it a glossy, golden finish.

11. Bake for 22 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully baked.

12. Once out of the oven, decorate with sliced cherry tomatoes for a festive look, or add a decorative bow on top if desired.
