Ingredients

Scale

Dip Mixture

  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove moisture
  • 6 oz water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Dough and Toppings

  • 2 8-ounce packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
  • 1 red bell pepper (for the “bow”)
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 16 cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained chopped spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning, mozzarella cheese, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Prepare the Crescent Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a large baking sheet, unroll both packages of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls and separate the dough into triangles, keeping the perforations intact.
  3. Assemble the Wreath Base: Arrange the crescent dough triangles in a large circle on the baking sheet with the pointed ends facing outward and the wide ends overlapping slightly in the center, forming a wreath shape. Ensure the center is sealed well.
  4. Add the Spinach Filling: Spread the prepared spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the wide ends of the crescent triangles near the center, leaving the pointed ends free.
  5. Shape the Wreath Segments: Fold each pointed end over the filling and press gently to seal. Then, twist each segment slightly to create the wreath’s layered, twisted look.
  6. Create the Bell Pepper Bow: Slice the remaining whole red bell pepper into strips and shape into a decorative bow on the wreath’s top for a festive touch.
  7. Egg Wash and Cheese Topping: Brush the surface of the wreath with the lightly beaten egg white, being careful not to drip over the edges. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top to enhance browning and flavor.
  8. Bake the Wreath: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Add Cherry Tomato Garnish: Remove the wreath from the oven, then arrange cherry tomatoes around or on top of the wreath as a colorful garnish. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to prevent a soggy wreath.
  • You can substitute feta cheese with goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • If you want a spicier dip, increase the chili powder slightly or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • The dough can be tightly sealed to avoid the filling leaking during baking.
  • Serve with extra marinara or ranch dip for added flavor.
  • This dip wreath can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to bake time if chilled.
