Veggie Pizzas


I'm all about the easy cold app in the summer. These veggie pizzas have an element of cooking, but it's small so they count. I originally got this recipe from Carol I think. My aunt Sue makes them too and they are always a favorite.

Ingredients (can be doubled, tripled etc. for a party)
1 pkg crescent rolls
1 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
1/3C mayo
½ tsp dill weed
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp minced onion
Finely shredded cheese
Fresh broccoli, grape tomatoes, bell pepper.

Directions
Grease 9x13 baking sheet or use a non-stick sheet. Unroll crescent dough and pat down on sheet. Follow directions so they're just lightly browned on top (it's about 9 and a half minutes in my oven). Set aside to cool.

In bowl, mix cream cheese, mayo, and spices. Beat until smooth and spread over cooled dough.
Top with minced veggie toppings and shredded cheese. Cut with a pizza cutter.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Other veggies may be added or substituted - I've used purple cabbage, carrots, green onions, etc. in the past.

Summer - humid. Hot.
Appetizers should be cold.

  17. another delicious dish. This looks easy enough for me!

  18. Holy crap, that haiku. I cannot stop laughing.

    I should make this. The time in the oven is under the limit I like to set for summer foods (usually less than 25 minutes) and then it's pizza. So. Yes. It works for me.

  19. These are such a good idea for the summer, quick, easy- and even with any choice of ingredients even my grandson could make them. Fun colorful post Steph!

  20. Oh. Hel. lo! this looks so delicious. Big fan of the cold app (which is usually dinner for me too, because lazy) over here as well. Easiest ever: sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, avocado. Drizzle (or many drizzles) olive oil + salt + pepper + basil. Chill and nom.

  21. YUM! I freakin' love veggie pizza. My great-aunt makes one for every party/shower/holiday- very similar to yours. I think she always puts shredded carrots on top too, which I like- but not everyone is a fan of carrots!

  22. What a great summer idea! It's easy and the crescent roll dough is genius! I like the idea of the cream cheese as a base instead of a red sauce. Pinning!
