Meanwhile, combine melted butter and garlic salt

Step 5

Coarsely chop ⅓ cup of the white cocktail onions and scatter over the cheese

Step 6

Halve 15 green and 15 red cocktail onions and sprinkle over the top. Roll up dough tightly to form a 40cm log. Cut into 16 scrolls. Arrange 15 scrolls into a triangle shape on prepared baking tray. Add last scroll as the tree trunk

Step 7

Bake 30-35 minutes, or until golden. Brush with remaining butter while it is still hot. Serve warm, topped with extra cocktail onions
