Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Alternatively, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes and drain well.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the seams together to create one solid rectangle.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the crescent dough, leaving about 1/2-inch border on all sides.
Layer the steamed broccoli florets evenly over the cream cheese mixture.
Unroll the second can of crescent dough and place it over the broccoli and cheese filling. Gently press the edges to seal and pinch any open seams together.
Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crescent square to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy!
