Description

A festive and delicious pull-apart bread shaped like a Christmas tree, filled with melted cheese and herbs. Perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a large bowl, toss biscuit pieces with half of the butter mixture and all of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  4. On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the biscuit pieces in a Christmas tree shape: start with a single piece at the top, then rows of increasing width downward, slightly overlapping. Reserve a few pieces for the trunk.
  5. Brush the remaining butter mixture over the arranged pieces.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a festive touch, sprinkle with red bell pepper pieces or cherry tomato halves to resemble ornaments. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
