Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans crescent rolls
Cheese Spread
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 package Ranch dressing powdered dressing mix
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots
- 3/4 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup finely diced green and red peppers
- 3/4 cup sliced black olives
- 3/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Crescent Roll Base: Remove the crescent roll dough from the packaging and press it out evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet, making sure to seal all the perforations with your fingers to create a solid crust. Bake it in the preheated oven according to the crescent rolls package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Make the Cheese Spread: While the crust cools, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch dressing powder in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the Veggie Pizza: Once the crescent roll base has cooled, carefully spread the creamy cheese mixture evenly over the entire crust using a knife or spatula. Then, top the spread with the chopped vegetables—carrots, broccoli, green and red peppers, black olives, and green onions—pressing them lightly into the cheese layer. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over all the vegetables.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut into 12 equal slices and serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can be chilled briefly if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the crescent roll crust is completely cooled before spreading the cheese mixture to prevent it from melting the spread.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable toppings based on preference or seasonal availability.
- This recipe works well as a party appetizer or a light lunch option.
- Storing leftovers in the refrigerator is recommended; consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with vegan alternatives and use a vegan Ranch seasoning.
