How to make Cheese-Stuffed Christmas Tree Bread
Preparation
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the cheddar, pepper jack, and string cheese sticks into 4 equal-sized pieces.
Open both cans of biscuits, split each biscuit in half, and slightly flatten each half. Place 2 cheese cubes in the center of each piece of dough.
Pinch each biscuit half up to the center and roll it into a ball.
Assembly
Arrange the dough balls into a large triangle on the baking sheet, starting with 7 balls at the base.
Continue with 6 balls in the next row, 5 in the third row, and so on, until you have one ball at the top.
Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder. Brush the melted butter mixture over the entire tree.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and parsley over the tree. Distribute cherry tomatoes evenly on the bread tree.
Baking
Bake the tree for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Place the pretzel sticks at the bottom to make the tree trunk.
Serve immediately with spinach dip, ranch dressing, pizza sauce, or marinara sauce.
