Broccoli Cheese Crescent Squares Recipes

CRESCENT ROLL VEGGIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Unroll the crescent rolls onto a nonstick baking sheet, separating the dough and arranging it in a single layer covering the entire baking sheet. Press together the perforations, and then using a fork, prick the dough all over. Bake the dough for 10 minutes until golden brown then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Ranch dressing mix. Using a handheld mixer, blend together the ingredients until smooth and creamy. (Alternately, beat the ingredients together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.)
• Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the completely cooled baking sheet of crescent rolls, covering the entire surface in an even layer.
• Sprinkle the grated broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes and scallions on top of the cream cheese then place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on top and lightly press down the veggies. Cover the baking sheet securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate the bars for a minimum of one hour and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, slice the sheet into bars and serve.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir until moistened.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the broccoli, oil, crushed red pepper, garlic and 2/3 cup water to a large skillet and stir until combined. Cover and bring to a boil. Let the broccoli steam until bright green and just crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water continue to boil until it is completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream cheese.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the broccoli mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Cover the broccoli with the cheese slices and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the broccoli mixture).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping.

BROCCOLI CHEESE CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Combine broccoli, red peppers and onions in large bowl.
• Mix all remaining ingredients except crescent dough until blended. Add to vegetable mixture; mix well.
• Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles in circle on parchment-covered baking sheet with wide ends of triangles overlapping in center and points facing edges of baking sheet, leaving 5-inch-diameter opening in center of baking sheet. Gently press edges of dough triangles together to form "base" for topping with filling, starting at center of ring and stopping 3 inches from center of ring; top with vegetable mixture.
• Bring outside points of triangles up over filling, then tuck under dough in center of ring to secure. (Note: The broccoli filling will not be completely covered with dough.)
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until crust is golden brown and filling is heated through.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STUFFED CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with some salt and pepper and sear on one side for 5 minutes. Flip and sear for 5 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a plate to let cool for 5 minutes, then give it a good chop.
• Meanwhile, add the broccoli to a food processor and pulse until finely minced. While the chicken is resting, add the broccoli to the skillet with a pinch of salt and saute until the broccoli slightly wilts and pops in color, 3 to 5 minutes, adding a little oil if needed.
• Combine the chicken, broccoli, mozzarella, mayonnaise, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
• Roll the crescents out two ways: You can unfold each individual triangle and dollop about 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture at the thicker end, rolling it up to make sure the tip is on top. Or you can unroll two crescents together to make a rectangle, pinch them together at the perforation, dollop about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture in the center and gently pull the corners together on top, pinching to seal.
• Place the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle each with the Parmesan and bake until golden brown on top, 14 to 20 minutes depending on their size. Serve with any dipping sauces you prefer.
