Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Unroll the crescent roll dough from both cans. Separate the dough into triangles.
Step 3
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the triangles in a large tree shape. Start with a single triangle at the top and overlap additional triangles downward to form the branches of a tree. Use extra triangles to fill in gaps as needed. Save one triangle to form the tree trunk at the bottom.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 5
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough tree, staying about 1/4 inch away from the edges.
Step 6
Fold the edges of the triangles over the filling, pressing them lightly to seal. Tuck the dough so it resembles the shape of a tree.
Step 7
Brush the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake the tree in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Decorate the tree with diced red bell peppers and sliced black olives to resemble ornaments. Sprinkle additional chopped parsley for a festive touch.
Step 10
Serve warm and watch it become the centerpiece of your holiday appetizer table!
