Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent rolls (use the 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 the Spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, fresh dill, and chives. Stir until well mixed, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and set.
- Prepare the Crust: Remove crescent rolls from the can and carefully roll them out onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping the dough in one intact sheet by pinching seams together. If using full sheet crescent dough, this step is simplified.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely before adding toppings.
- Assemble the Veggie Pizza: Spread the chilled cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll crust. Top with the chopped fresh assorted veggies and additional chives if desired.
- Serve: Use a pizza cutter or large knife to cut the veggie pizza into appetizer-sized pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, substitute 1-2 tablespoons of ranch dip mix or seasoning mix for the fresh herbs in the spread.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; note that the crust may become soggy over time due to moisture absorption from the spread.
- Freezing this recipe is not recommended as it may alter texture and flavor.
