Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Spread
- 8 oz. softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 envelope ranch dressing mix (approx. 1 oz)
Toppings
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 cup chopped red pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped carrot
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when you assemble the crust.
- Prepare Crust: Unroll the crescent rolls and spread them evenly onto a parchment-lined 12×18 inch baking pan, or divide and spread across two 9×13 inch pans. Make sure the dough is pressed together to form one continuous crust.
- Bake Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown color.
- Make Ranch Spread: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with the sour cream and ranch dressing mix until smooth and well combined.
- Cool Crust: Allow the baked crust to cool completely to prevent the spread from melting and the veggies from wilting.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Then top with chopped broccoli, red pepper, carrot, green onion, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the assembled pizza and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure the crust is completely cooled before adding the spread to keep the toppings fresh and prevent sogginess.
- You can use any combination of fresh vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of garlic powder to the ranch spread.
- This recipe works well as a make-ahead appetizer; prepare it a few hours in advance and keep refrigerated.
- Leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
