Directions Cheesy Savory Christmas Wreath Recipe
- In a bowl add your three cheeses and mix until well combined
- In a small bowl make your wreath topping by adding your shortening, garlic, and dry seasonings and mix until combined
- For your pastry mix your dry ingredients and set to the side
-
Chop up your hardened Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Shortening into cubes and add into your dry ingredients
- Gently push down the shortening until it is flat and slowly add one tbsp of ice water at a time until you get a shaggy dough. 9-10 tbsp is roughly what you'll need
- Refrigerate for one hour before flouring your surface and adding your dough. Flour a rolling pin and begin to roll your dough out gently.
- Fold the dough over itself to create layers in your pastry. Once its rolled out use a pizza slicer to slice triangle shapes for your wreath
- On a parchment lined baking tray add a jar in the center and add your triangle dough pieces around making sure they overlap
- add your pesto, then cheese mixture, then some italian seasoning on top and remove the jar
-
Gently fold the dough over the mixture pinching the sides if needed to make sure the filling doesn’t fall out
-
Brush on your shortening mixture and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top
- Garnish with rosemary sprigs and red sweet peppers!
