- 6 string cheese mozzarella (cheese sticks (0.75 oz each))
- 5 5 extra-sharp cheddar (cheese sticks (0.75 oz each))
- 5 Colby-Monterey Jack (cheese sticks (0.75 oz each))
- 2 cans (16.3 oz) Pillsbury (Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count))
- 2 tps butter (melted)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tps chopped fresh chives (or Italian (flat-leaf) parsley)
- 1 can (15 oz) Muir Glen organic pizza sauce ((for dipping))
- Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Cut each cheese stick into 1-inch pieces for easy assembly.
Flatten each biscuit and place a cheese piece in the center.
Fold the edges of the biscuit over the cheese, pinching to seal completely.
Roll each sealed biscuit into a ball to create the base. - Step 2: Assemble the Tree
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the stuffed biscuit balls seam-side down to form a Christmas tree shape.
Start with one ball at the top, adding layers with more balls per row.
Place two balls at the base to create the trunk of the tree. - Step 3: Brush with Butter and Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Generously brush the mixture over the biscuit balls for added flavor.
Reserve a portion of the butter mixture to brush on after baking for extra shine. - Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake the assembled tree for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even browning. - Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped chives or parsley over the warm bread for a festive touch.
Serve the bread with warm pizza sauce for dipping, enhancing the flavor.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving for extra cheesiness.
