Step 1: Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped Cara Mia Marinated Artichoke Hearts, spinach, softened cream cheese, grated parmesan, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Prep the Puff Pastry
Lightly roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to smooth and even it out. Spread a thin, even layer of the spinach–artichoke mixture across the entire sheet. Lay the second puff pastry sheet directly on top to sandwich the filling.
Step 3: Cut & Shape the Trees
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Working one strip at a time, thread a wooden skewer from top to bottom while folding the strip back and forth in a zig-zag pattern to create a Christmas tree shape — narrow at the top, wider at the base.
Step 4: Brush & Bake
Transfer trees to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg wash Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed, golden, and crisp.
Step 5: Top & Serve
Add a cheese star to each skewer, if desired, then arrange the warm trees on a platter and finish with a sprinkle of parmesan. Serve immediately.
