This fun Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip is a tasty treat! Flaky biscuits form a lovely wreath around creamy, cheesy dip that everyone will love. It’s perfect for parties and gatherings.
I can’t resist how easy it is to make! Just whip up the dip, wrap the biscuits, and bake until golden. Trust me, you’ll want to save some for yourself! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: Flaky biscuit dough is perfect for this wreath! If you want a homemade option, try using your favorite biscuit recipe. You can also use crescent roll dough for a softer texture.
Cream Cheese: This adds creaminess to the dip. If you’re looking for a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt, which also works well when mixed with some herbs for flavor.
Spinach: Frozen spinach is convenient, but you could use fresh spinach instead—just sauté it until wilted, then chop it up. If you have other greens like kale, they can work too!
Cheeses: Mozzarella gives that melty goodness while Parmesan adds a nice kick. Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or gouda if you prefer.
Sour Cream: This adds tang. Greek yogurt is a great substitute that still provides some creaminess. You could also skip it if you prefer a thicker dip.
How Can I Make Sure the Biscuits Bake Perfectly?
To achieve perfectly baked biscuits that are golden brown and fluffy, follow these tips:
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 375°F (190°C) before placing the dip inside.
- Don’t overcrowd the biscuit pieces; arrange them around the edge with a bit of space for even cooking.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, which encourages browning and adds flavor.
- Keep an eye on the dip in the oven! If the biscuits are browning too fast, cover the dish with foil for the last few minutes until the dip is bubbly.

- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream

Time Needed:
This Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip takes approximately 10 minutes to prepare, and then about 20-25 minutes to bake. In total, you’ll need around 35-40 minutes to get this delicious dish from your kitchen to the table!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s important to have your oven nice and hot for evenly baked biscuits. While the oven is heating, lightly grease a cast iron skillet or an oven-safe round baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dip:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, well-drained chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, sour cream, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s nice and creamy. This will be the delicious filling for your wreath!
3. Arrange the Biscuits:
Take the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into halves or quarters, depending on how big you want the wreath. Then, arrange the pieces around the edge of your skillet or baking dish in a circular shape. Leave the center open for the dip; this is where the magic happens!
4. Fill with Dip:
Spoon the creamy spinach mixture into the center of the biscuit ring, spreading it out evenly to ensure everyone gets a taste—including those flaky biscuits surrounding it!
5. Brush with Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and a sprinkle of parsley. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over the biscuit dough. This will create a delicious, golden-brown crust while baking.
6. Bake:
Now it’s time to bake! Place the skillet or baking dish in your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you’re looking for golden brown biscuits and bubbling dip!
7. Cool and Garnish:
Once it’s out of the oven, let the wreath cool for a few minutes. Then, if you want, sprinkle some extra fresh parsley on top for a nice touch.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
To serve, pull apart the biscuit pieces, dip them into the creamy center, and enjoy this warm, cheesy goodness! It’s perfect for sharing at parties or gatherings.
Enjoy your delicious Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip!
Can I Use a Different Type of Cheese?
Absolutely! While mozzarella and Parmesan create a creamy and flavorful dip, you can experiment with cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or even a pepper jack for a spicy kick. Just make sure to maintain the overall texture you desire!
What Should I Do If I Have Leftover Dip?
If you have leftover dip, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or in the oven. If reheating in the oven, cover with foil to prevent the biscuits from getting too hard while warming through.
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian or Vegan?
To make this dish vegetarian, simply skip any meat and focus on the cheese and spinach mixture! For a vegan alternative, use plant-based cream cheese and cheeses, as well as a dairy-free sour cream. Make sure to check the biscuit dough is plant-based as well!
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
You can prepare the dip filling and arrange the biscuits in advance! Store them separately in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake, simply add the dip to the center and follow the baking instructions. This makes it a great party choice!
