This Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip is a fun and tasty treat! Imagine warm, fluffy biscuits wrapped around a creamy, cheesy dip—it’s perfect for sharing at parties!
Whenever I make this dip, everyone gathers around to dig in. I love to serve it with extra biscuits for dipping, and it never lasts long! Who could resist that cheesy goodness? 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Refrigerated Biscuits: These are the foundation for the wreath! I like using a flaky variety for the best rise. If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can use whole wheat biscuits or even make your own from scratch!
Cream Cheese: This adds a rich creaminess to the dip. If you want a lighter version, consider using Neufchâtel cheese instead—it’s lower in fat but still delicious!
Spinach: Fresh spinach is great for this dip, but frozen spinach works just as well when thawed and drained. You can also try other greens like kale or Swiss chard for a twist.
Cheeses: Mozzarella provides great stretchiness, while Parmesan adds a nice depth. You could swap mozzarella for cheddar if you prefer a sharper taste, or use a mix of Italian cheeses for added flavor.
Butter: Brushing the biscuits with butter lends a golden color. For a healthier option, you can replace butter with olive oil or melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
How Do You Arrange the Biscuits to Create the Wreath?
Forming the wreath is key to a visually appealing dip! Here’s how to get it right:
- Open the can of biscuits and separate each one carefully.
- Arrange them in a circular pattern along the edge of your skillet, allowing them to slightly overlap. This will help them rise together.
- Place the biscuits close enough to create a sealed look, but don’t worry about it being perfect— the heat will blend them during baking!
With these tips, you’ll have a beautiful and delicious Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip that’s bound to impress your friends and family!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip takes about 15 minutes to prepare, and then 20-25 minutes to bake. So, get your oven ready and in less than 45 minutes, you’ll have a mouthwatering dip perfect for parties or cozy nights in!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or any oven-safe pan you have on hand.
2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and creamy!
3. Form the Biscuit Wreath:
Now it’s time to arrange the biscuits! Take each biscuit and place them in a circle around the edge of your skillet, slightly overlapping them. This will create a beautiful wreath shape. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; the biscuits will rise together as they bake!
4. Add the Cheese Filling:
Pour the creamy spinach and cheese mixture into the center of the biscuit wreath, spreading it evenly. Make sure the filling is nicely filled in so everyone gets a cheesy bite!
5. Top with Cheese & Butter:
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip filling for that gooey melted goodness. Then, brush the melted butter over the tops of the biscuits to give them a lovely, golden crust.
6. Bake Until Golden:
Place your skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese dip is bubbly. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
7. Cool & Garnish:
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes so you don’t burn your fingers. Then sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color!
8. Serve & Enjoy:
Serve the Baked Biscuit Wreath Dip warm and encourage your guests to dig in! Use the fluffy biscuits to scoop up the cheesy goodness in the center. It’s the perfect appetizer for any occasion!

Can I Use Frozen Biscuits Instead of Refrigerated Ones?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to follow the cooking instructions on the packaging for any specific adjustments. If they’re not pre-cut, you might need to bake them a bit longer to ensure they’re fully cooked.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through. If you notice the biscuits getting too hard, try covering it with foil while reheating.
Can I Make This Dip Vegetarian?
This recipe is already vegetarian-friendly due to its cream cheese, sour cream, and cheese base! Just make sure all your ingredients, especially the biscuits, are certified vegetarian, as some may contain lard or other animal products.
What Can I Serve with This Dip Besides Biscuits?
In addition to biscuits, this dip pairs well with fresh vegetable sticks (like carrots and celery), tortilla chips, or even toasted baguette slices. Get creative, and find your favorite way to enjoy the dip!
