⭐ Ingredients (Makes 6 Trees)

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry

½ cup garlic & herb cream cheese (or plain cream cheese + garlic powder)

½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any you like)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Sesame seeds (optional)

⭐ Quick Filling (No Cooking Needed!)

In a bowl, mix:

Spinach

Cream cheese

Shredded cheese

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Done! ✔️

⭐ How to Shape the Trees (Fast Method)

1. Cut the Pastry

Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C

Cut the puff pastry into long strips about 1 inch wide

2. Form the Trees

You can skip cones/molds using this quick trick:

Roll each strip into a loose spiral, from wide at the bottom to narrow at the top.

Press slightly to keep the spiral shape.

Spoon or pipe small amounts of spinach filling between the pastry layers.

(If you want perfect cones, you can still wrap the strip around foil molds — optional.)

⭐ Bake

Brush spirals lightly with egg wash

Sprinkle sesame seeds

Bake 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden
