Ingredients
  

  • 1 (10-oz.) bag frozen spinach, thawed, liquid squeezed out
  • 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 3/4 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-oz. box), thawed according to package directions
  • 12 skewers
  • 6 slices Provolone

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a large bowl, combine spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, and artichokes, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry sheets to 15" x 12" rectangle about 1/8" thick, trimming if needed.
  • Spread spinach mixture in an even layer on one pastry sheet. Top with other pastry sheet, lightly pressing to adhere. With the long end facing you, cut out 12 (1"-thick) strips.
  • Working one strip at a time, fold dough back and forth in a zig-zag motion, with each layer getting narrower than the last, to create a tree shape. Arrange filling side up. Skewer each tree from bottom and through top, making sure about 1/2" of the skewer shows at the top. You may have to separate the layers after skewering so they aren’t smushed together. Arrange on prepared sheets. 
  • Bake trees until puff pastry is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Stack 2 slices of Provolone. Cut out small stars with a small cookie cutter or paring knife to get 4 stars; repeat with remaining Provolone. Carefully skewer stars onto top of trees.
