  1. Do you ever serve these at room temperature, or are they better hot? I’m just thinking of the logistics of getting these to an event that’s an hour away from my house!

    • Hi Amy! That’s a great question… I will be honest with you, they are so much yummier when they are warm… if there is an oven at the event it would be best to warm it up before serving. Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!!!

  2. Could you use crescent rolls instead of the puff pastry?

  3. I made the tree The dough browned and I took it out, but it did not cook well. Under the dip remained doughy and not fully cooked. Also, the pictures make it look so much bigger. I will try it again tomorrow at a lower temp to see if it cooks better, otherwise, I will make the tree by itself and placing the dip next to it for Christmas.

  4. 4 stars
    Looks really good! How many people does this serve?

  5. After i take it out of the over can I brush butter over the puff pastry or would that be overkill on top of the egg wash? Thanks

  6. Can you get this ready the night before and just pop it in the oven the next day?

    • Hi Lisa. I haven’t made it a day before, not sure if it will turn out. Maybe you can make the spinach dip ahead then assemble and bake next day… that’s what I would do. Hope this helps!

  7. So does the entire recipe serve 6, or just 1 tree or one spinach roll up?

  8. 5 stars
    These taste as good as they look! Easy to make. I made two rolls of roll ups. I’d say put the rolls in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. I made 1 inch slices and brushed egg wash on top and up sides so the puff pastry would brown nicely all round.

    This was delicious and super easy to make! I only made the tree and saved the extra filling to snack on.
