Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 12 pieces asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a solid crust. Seal any perforations in the dough with your fingers.
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent crust.
Place the trimmed asparagus spears on top of the cream cheese mixture, arranging them in a single layer.
Brush the asparagus with olive oil, and then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
