Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 35 min
Ingredients:
2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose
flour
8
eggs, divided
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 pound fresh
asparagus spears cut into 1-inch pieces (approximately 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup finely-chopped
onionbr>
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation:
Preheat
oven to 375 degrees F.
Unroll 2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls; separate into 16
triangles. Arrange triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on large round
baking (pizza) stone with wide ends 4 inches from edge of baking stone (points
will extend off the edge of the baking stone). Roll wide ends of dough toward
center to create a 5-inch opening and sealing dough together.
In a large bowl, whisk cream cheese, milk, and flour together until smooth.
Separate 1 egg; reserving egg white. Add the yolk
from the reserved egg, remaining 7 whole eggs, dill weed, salt, and black pepper
to cream cheese mixture; whisk until smooth. Add asparagus, bell pepper,
and onion; mix well.
Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
Add egg/cream cheese mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes until
eggs are set but still moist. Remove pan from heat.
Scoop egg mixture evenly over dough in a continuous circle. Sprinkle with
shredded cheddar cheese. Bring points of triangles up over filling and tuck
under dough at center to form a ring (filling will show between dough wedges).
Brush with remaining lightly beaten egg white.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is a golden brown. Remove from oven and
serve immediately.
