This Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip is a fun and tasty treat! Soft, fluffy biscuits form a ring around cheesy, creamy goodness. It’s perfect for parties!
You can customize the dip with your favorite veggies or meats. I love how easy it is to make, and it always impresses my friends. Who doesn’t love a cheesy dip surrounded by biscuits? Yum!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Biscuit Dough: Flaky biscuit dough is key for that soft and pillowy texture. You can substitute with homemade biscuit dough if you feel adventurous! Just keep in mind they may need a different baking time.
Cream Cheese: This adds creaminess to the dip. For a lighter option, try Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. It will change the taste a bit but will still be delicious.
Spinach: Frozen chopped spinach is super easy, but fresh spinach can work too! Just sauté it until wilted and chop finely. It gives a fresher taste!
Cheese: I love using mozzarella for the gooey stretchiness, but you can also mix in cheddar for a sharper flavor. Just remember to adjust the amount based on preference.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic brings great flavor. If you don’t have fresh, garlic powder works too! Use about 1/8 tsp.
How Can I Assemble the Wreath Perfectly?
Getting your biscuit wreath right takes a little care. Here’s how to do it:
- Use a light touch when arranging the biscuit pieces so they don’t lose their flaky texture.
- Press them together gently in a circle to maintain the wreath shape. The biscuits will rise during baking, helping them connect.
- Don’t overfill the center with dip—leave some space for the biscuits to puff up around it. It should look festive!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious dish takes about 15 minutes to prep and around 25-30 minutes to bake. So in total, you’re looking at about 45 minutes! Perfect for a quick appetizer for any gathering.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
First, get your oven preheating to 375°F (190°C). While it warms up, take a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an oven-safe round baking dish and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Cheesy Spinach Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, the thawed and drained spinach, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix it well until everything is nicely blended. This will be your creamy filling!
3. Form the Biscuit Wreath:
Next, take your biscuit dough and arrange it around the edge of the greased skillet, placing the pieces in a circle. Overlap them slightly to create a wreath shape, leaving an open center. Lightly press them together to help them hold their form as they bake.
4. Add the Spinach Dip Filling:
Now it’s time to fill your wreath! Spoon the cheesy spinach mixture evenly into the center of your biscuit ring. Don’t be shy—this dip is what makes it so delicious!
5. Brush and Sprinkle:
Brush the tops of the biscuit dough with the melted butter and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top. This will help create a beautiful golden crust as it bakes.
6. Bake Until Golden:
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it—you’re looking for the biscuits to turn golden brown and for the dip to be hot and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
Once your wreath is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over the top for a beautiful finish. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Enjoy Your Creation:
Dig in by tearing off the biscuits and dipping them into the cheesy spinach dip at the center. It’s warm, it’s cheesy, and it’s simply delicious!
Enjoy your delicious, savory Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip!
Can I Use Frozen Biscuit Dough Instead of Refrigerated?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw the frozen biscuit dough according to package instructions before using it. The baking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them in the oven.
What Can I Substitute for Spinach?
If you’re not a fan of spinach, you can substitute it with other greens like kale or artichoke hearts. Just ensure they’re well-drained and chopped if necessary. Creamed corn or mixed vegetables can also work for a different twist!
How Do I Store Leftover Wreath Dip?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave it, but keep stirring occasionally for even heating.
Can I Make This Dish Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cheese dip mixture and arrange the biscuit wreath the night before. Cover it tightly and refrigerate. When you’re ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and then pop it in the oven as directed!
