Festive Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread Tree

This pull-apart bread tree features soft and fluffy garlic herb rolls shaped into a tree, filled with gooey melted mozzarella. It takes about 45 minutes to prepare and bake, serving as a perfect Christmas appetizer for any festive gathering.

Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated garlic herb rolls
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Rolls: Open the cans of garlic herb rolls and separate each roll. Flatten each roll slightly with your hands.
3. Fill with Cheese: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened roll. Fold the edges over to seal the cheese inside.
4. Shape the Tree: Arrange the filled rolls in a tree shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, starting with a wider base and tapering to a point at the top.
5. Brush with Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the assembled bread tree.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy pull-apart bread tree!
