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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Unroll one can of crescent roll dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the seams together to create one solid rectangle.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the crescent dough, leaving about 1/2-inch border on all sides.

Step 6

Layer the steamed broccoli florets evenly over the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crescent square to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
