Description
A delicious and easy-to-make veggie pizza featuring a creamy herb spread on a crispy crescent roll crust, topped with fresh assorted vegetables for a refreshing appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (full sheet crescent dough if available)
Spread
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (reduced-fat or full fat)
- ½ cup sour cream (light or full fat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 cups chopped assorted veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, green onion, cucumber)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Spread: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, softened cream cheese, fresh dill, and fresh chives. Stir well until smooth and thoroughly mixed. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes, which helps it set and enhances the flavors.
- Roll Out Crescent Dough: Remove crescent rolls from the can and carefully unroll them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping the dough intact as one large sheet. Pinch any seams together to prevent separating during baking. If using a full sheet crescent dough, this step can be skipped.
- Bake Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Spread Cream Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the chilled cream cheese and herb mixture over the cooled crescent roll crust using a spatula or knife.
- Add Veggie Toppings: Top the spread with the chopped assorted fresh vegetables. Optionally, sprinkle additional fresh chives on top for extra flavor and garnish.
- Slice and Serve: Using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut the veggie pizza into appetizer-sized pieces. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute 1 to 2 tablespoons of ranch dip mix or your favorite seasoning mix for the fresh herbs to vary the flavor.
- Store any leftover veggie pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the crescent roll crust may become soggy as it absorbs moisture from the cream cheese spread.
- Freezing this recipe is not recommended as it negatively affects the texture of the crust and toppings.
