1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated regular pizza crust
4 oz, or half brick, cream cheese
1 Italian blend shredded cheese
1 tbsp Italian seasoning blend
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons freshly chopped basil, rosemary and parsley
1 cup warmed marinara sauce for dipping
Heat oven to 400° and lay pizza dough on a work surface stretching it to a 10 x 15 inch size then using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 25 equal squares. In a small bowl combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder and mix well. Form the cheese mixture into 25 evenly sized balls. Add one cheese ball to each dough square and make a ball with the dough, sealing the edges. Place on a cookie sheet in a Christmas tree form. Bake for 15 – 17 minutes, or until golden brown. After removing from the oven, brush with butter and sprinkle with chopped herbs. Serve with marinara sauce.
