Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cans crescent rolls
Cheese Spread
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 package Ranch dressing powdered dressing mix
Toppings
- 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
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
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.
- Form and Bake Crust: Remove the crescent roll dough from the cans and press it evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet, sealing all perforations with your fingers to form one solid crust. Place the dough in the oven and bake according to the package instructions, typically about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Make Cheese Spread: While the crust is cooling, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Ranch dressing powder in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Assemble Pizza: Once the crescent roll crust has cooled, use a knife or spatula to spread the creamy Ranch cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Layer the shredded carrots, chopped broccoli, diced peppers, sliced olives, and green onions on top, gently pressing them into the spread. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over all the vegetables.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the veggie pizza into 12 portions and serve immediately. Enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack at your next gathering.
Notes
- Letting the crust cool before spreading the cheese mixture helps prevent it from becoming soggy.
- You can customize the vegetable toppings based on your preferences or seasonal availability.
- This recipe can easily be doubled for larger parties or gatherings.
