These were really easy to make and quite yummy. You can also make lots more than what the recipe says you will make. It calls for 1 package of crescent rolls, I used 2 and I still had filling left over for at least one more package. They make a great side dish because it is a vegetable, but it looks and feels different so it is a nice change.
Broccoli Cheese Squares
* 1 cup cooked rice
* 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli in cheese flavored sauce, thawed
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 1-2 cans crescent dinner rolls
* 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
* grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top
1. Mix the cooked rice, thawed broccoli, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Separate each can of dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press the perforations together to seal. Press them out to form a 6x3 inch rectangle. Place a heaping spoonful of the broccoli mixture in the middle of the dough. Fold and stretch dough over the filling; press edges to seal. (the squares will be very full)
3. With the tines of a fork, crimp the edges. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip: To quickly thaw the broccoli, cut a small slit in the center of the pouch and microwave on High for 2 to 3 minutes.
Caution this really isn't a "healthy" side, but it may help your kids start to eat broccoli.
