Christmas Tree Cool Veggie Pizza

This recipe has been around a long time and I used to make this for my Pampered Chef demo's around the holiday. Had the pleasure of making it with my niece Alice over the holidays for a family party --we tailored it to her likes and dislikes and if you can't already guess she LOVES RED BELL PEPPERS. Would be great shaped like a heart for valentines too!

2 (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

8 oz pkg. cream cheese softened

1 garlic clove, pressed

1 1/2 T. Mayonnaise

1 tsp.  Dill weed

    

2c broccoli flowerets -- chopped fine

1 green pepper -- chopped fine

1 red pepper -- sliced v shaped blade

5-6 loose small white mushrooms- egg slice 4;chop rest

radishes-3 or 4 sliced

6 cherry tomatoes

1 slice of cheese

Preheat oven to 350

Open cans of CRESCENT ROLLS –DO NOT UNROLL—slice each can of rolls into 16 slices (=32 total)

Place on Bar Pan in a tree pattern –one roll slice up to 6 slices in the bottom row –then 3 rows of 2 each for the tree trunk—gently roll with dough & pizza roller

BAKE 12-15 MINUTES UNTIL LIGHT BROWN THEN COOL

Blend together in 2 qt batter bowl CRM CHEESE, GARLIC, MAYO & DILL with mix n scraper and spread on cooled crust with large spreader

Place chopped broccoli all over tree and then add on the chopped green pepper. Next using slice n grate slice red pepper into rings then in half and lay “garlands” across tree. Slice 4 mushrooms with egg slicer –use on the ones with the stems still on as ornaments on the tree. The remaining mushrooms chop and put onto the tree trunk area. Radishes are great sliced as ornaments. The cherry tomatoes slice in half and put them rounded skin side out as ornaments. Lastly carve a star out of the slice of cheese for the treetop.
