Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cans crescent rolls
Cheese Spread
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 package Ranch dressing powdered dressing
Toppings
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup carrots, shredded
- 3/4 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 3/4 cup green and red peppers, finely diced
- 3/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 3/4 cup green onions, sliced
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 ensure the crust won’t stick.
- Form and Bake Crust: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet. Make sure to seal all the perforations between the dough pieces by pressing firmly with your fingers to form one consistent crust. Bake according to the crescent roll package instructions until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch dressing powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a flavorful base for the pizza.
- Assemble Veggie Pizza: Once the crescent roll crust has cooled, evenly spread the creamy Ranch cheese mixture over the surface using a knife or spatula. Next, sprinkle and lightly press the shredded carrots, chopped broccoli, diced green and red peppers, sliced black olives, and sliced green onions over the cheese layer. Finish by evenly topping with shredded cheddar cheese. Press gently to ensure toppings adhere to the spread.
- Serve: Slice the veggie pizza into 12 pieces and serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture. Enjoy this colorful and savory appetizer with friends and family.
Notes
- Make sure the crescent roll dough is entirely cooled before spreading the cheese mixture to prevent it from melting.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable toppings according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- This pizza is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs like dill or parsley into the cheese spread.
