Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 ounce bag of steamable peas
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Steam peas according to bag.
- Add the peas and cream cheese to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Spread out crescent roll dough. Ensure that there are no breaks in the dough by pressing with your fingers.
- Spread pea mixture onto the dough. You will not need all the mixture. Sprinkle cheese on top.
- Starting on one side, roll the dough up forming a log. Cut the dough into 1 inch pieces.

Notes
Rolling Tip: Make sure the crescent roll dough is unbroken to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Serving Suggestion: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
Leftover pea mixture: Use the leftover pea mixture as a spread on toast, mix into pasta, or serve as a dip with crackers or veggies.
