Appetizer Veggie Pizza Recipe

by Amanda Formaro

Whether it's for a birthday party at the office, a barbecue at your brother-in-law's house, or you're just having a few friends over to watch television, this appetizer is the perfect snack. Topped with fresh vegetables and cheese, you just can't go wrong.

2 cans refrigerator crescent rolls
1 pkg dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 oz. cream cheese, softened

Toppings:
chopped green onions (scallions)
broccoli, chopped into small flowerettes
red bell pepper, chopped into small pieces
shredded carrot
shredded mozarella cheese
shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On an ungreased cookie sheet, unroll crescent rolls to flat sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Remove from oven, cool on cookie sheets.

In a medium bowl, with mixer on medium-high speed, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry salad dressing mix until completely incorporated.

When crescent sheets are cool, remove from cookie sheets and cut into 32 rectangles. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of each rectangle. Top with vegetables and shredded cheese. Chill in the refrigerator until serving time, at least 2 hours.
