This was a hit at our family Christmas party last night. The only problem with this one is that the topping doesn't stay on. To fix this next time I would mix the cream cheese mixture cheddar cheese broccoli and tomato together (reserving some broccoli and tomato) then spread it on the baked crescent rolls then top it off with the reserved broccoli/tomato for a pretty topping.

This was okay. I had way too much spread left over. You could cut the amount in half and still have penty. Read More

This was really good and worked well as a potluck snack for work because it was cold. I'd probably use more tomatoes next time (like one) but then I really like tomatoes! There's a lot of extra spread leftover too so one and a half of cream cheese (I used neufachel to reduce the fat) and 3/4 cup mayo (again used lowfat) might work just as well. And using the lowfat stuff worked great too! Read More

Yum this was a big hit! I served this at a get toghether today and everybody wanted to take a plate full of these snacks home. You MUST cut the cream cheese/mayo mixture in half though. I used 3 packages of crescent rolls slathered a thick layer of the dressing on and still had way too much left over!! It was very tasty though I'll definately be making this again. Thanks Kim.

Everyone at my Christmas party loved this recipe! I would however back off on the amount of dry dressing added to the cream cheese and mayo. We found the dressing alittle overpowering. Read More

I took these to a church function and they were a big hit. I thought they were really tasty but they took a long time to prepare. I took the suggestion to use a food processor to chop the broccoli but I think next time I would chop it by hand to make it a little more attractive. Cut the squares with a pizza cutter. Read More

Great appetizer a great veggie pizza to bring to social functions. I tried adding crumbled bacon to one that I prepared and the crowd loved it...likened it to a BLT pizza. Great recipe I'm sure there are a million other things one could add to jazz it up even more! Read More

This is always popular at parties as it is a nice alternative to the desserts that are usually served. I alter the veggies depending on what I have on hand. My fave is broccoli and cauliflower. The cream cheese mixture makes A LOT. The perfect amount without having excess is: 1-1/2 packages cream cheese 3/4 cup mayo 6 tsp. Ranch mix. Read More
