The image shows a white marbled surface with a round baking tray holding raw dough shaped with triangular flaps spread out from the center. On the middle part of the dough is a green filling mixed with pieces of red and white, being placed with a silver ice cream scoop held by a woman's hand. The filling looks creamy with a rough texture, having visible bits of spinach, diced tomatoes, and some cheese. The dough is pale yellow and smooth, and the photo has a soft focus on the background with a striped light cloth and some red berries in the corner. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • Two tubes of crescent rolls
  • TJ’s Frozen Spinach Artichoke Dip
  • 1 cup TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar, shredded

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat the spinach artichoke dip according to package directions. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before using.
  2. Step 2: Place a small bowl in the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to help shape the wreath.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the crescent roll triangles in a concentric, overlapping circle around the bowl. Continue overlapping until all crescents are used, pushing the pieces together to form a solid base.
  4. Step 4: Spread the cooled spinach artichoke dip over the inside of the crescent circle, using about two-thirds of the package.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dip.
  6. Step 6: Fold the points of the crescent triangles over the filling, tucking the tips under the base to form a wreath shape.
  7. Step 7: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the wreath is golden brown.
  8. Step 8: While baking, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley for the dipping sauce.
  9. Step 9: Let the wreath cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the dip to set before serving with the garlic butter dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes on top before baking.
  • Substitute fresh spinach and artichokes mixed with cream cheese for the frozen dip if preferred.
  • Make it vegan by using vegan crescent rolls, dairy-free cheese, and a plant-based spinach artichoke dip.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to keep the crescent roll crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A ring-shaped bread wreath with a thick golden crust is topped with a layer of melted white cheese mixed with chopped green herbs. The wreath rests on brown parchment paper on a wooden cutting board, decorated with sprigs of fresh rosemary and red berries near the bottom. Around the board, there are green textured fabric, strings of red beads, a white bowl filled with dark red cranberries, and stacked white plates on a white marbled surface.

Wreath

  • Two tubes of crescent rolls
  • 1 package TJ’s Frozen Spinach Artichoke Dip (about 10 oz)
  • 1 cup TJ’s unexpected cheddar, shredded

Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the Dip: Warm the TJ’s Frozen Spinach Artichoke Dip according to package directions, then allow it to cool for a few minutes to prevent the crescent dough from getting soggy.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Place a small bowl in the center of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to serve as a guide for the wreath’s shape.
  3. Arrange Crescent Rolls: Lay out the crescent roll triangles in a concentric overlapping circle around the bowl, pushing pieces together firmly to create a solid base without gaps.
  4. Add Spinach Artichoke Dip: Spoon about 2/3 of the cooled spinach artichoke dip evenly over the inside of the crescent ring, leaving a bit of edge clear for folding.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly on top of the dip layer.
  6. Fold Crescent Points: Carefully fold the tips of the crescent triangles inward over the filling, tucking under the base ring to enclose the filling and form the wreath’s full shape. Repeat with all triangle tips.
  7. Bake: Bake the wreath in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare Dipping Sauce: While baking, melt the butter and stir in garlic powder and dried parsley to create the garlic butter dipping sauce.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the wreath cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the dip to set slightly, then serve warm with the garlic butter sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the spinach artichoke dip is cool before spreading to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Folding the crescent points carefully helps seal the filling inside the wreath.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • Can substitute cheddar with any preferred cheese like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
