Vegetarian Cheese and Vegetable Twist

Vegetarian Cheese and Vegetable Twist

This vegetarian dish makes a great party appetizer or main course, when paired with a salad.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (cooked or raw)
  • 1 pint sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup whole cherry tomatoes
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 2 8oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375ºF. Mix eggs, cream cheese, and shredded cheese until blended. Stir in broccoli, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and green onions until well incorporated. 
  2. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange in 11-inch circle on a greased baking pan, with bottom sides of triangles overlapping in center and points of triangles toward outside. (It should look like a "sun".) Spoon cheese and vegetable mixture onto dough near center of circle. Bring outside points of triangles up over filling, then tuck under dough to create the ring.
  3. Bake 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 to 5 cups of Spinach

  2. Cook the sausage on the grill or a grill pan until fully cooked through. Set aside. Chop into smaller pieces once cool enough to handle.

  4. Scoop the cooked spaghetti squash into a large bowl. Add the spaghetti sauce, cooked sausage, and cooked vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine fully.

  4. PS. I will be using vegetarian sausage in the squash recipe. These products have come a long way, and some are quite delicious. 😋
