Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups finely chopped broccoli florets (about 13 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cream cheese, diced
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
Two 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
5 slices Cheddar, cut in half (about 5 ounces)
Ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the broccoli, oil, crushed red pepper, garlic and 2/3 cup water to a large skillet and stir until combined. Cover and bring to a boil. Let the broccoli steam until bright green and just crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water continue to boil until it is completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream cheese.
  • Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
  • Spoon the broccoli mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Cover the broccoli with the cheese slices and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the broccoli mixture).
  • Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping.

CHICKEN BROCCOLI CRESCENT SQUARES



Chicken Broccoli Crescent Squares image

This is my own creation of a recipe from a local restaurant that closed. This was my favorite along with their Robert Redford Pie. That's a recreation waiting to happen too! You may choose to used canned chicken to have even less prep or make triangles,instead of squares, for appetizers. Great with a salad to complete a light meal.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should still have a slight crunch when you bite into it.
  • If you don't have crescent roll dough on hand, you can use puff pastry dough instead.
  • To make the squares even more decadent, you can add a layer of cooked bacon or ham before adding the cheese and broccoli.
  • Serve the squares warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
