Ingredients
How To Prepare
HOW TO PREPARE:
- Line pan(s) with plastic wrap and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place croissant or crescent rolls in food processor and process to fine crumbs.
- Add THICK & EASY® Pureed Bread & Dessert Mix and water or milk and blend until smooth.
- Spread mixture evenly into pan. Cover and freeze.
- Stir together sour cream and ranch seasoning mix. Set aside.
- Lift plastic wrap and frozen croissant/crescent roll layer from pan. Remove plastic wrap and set frozen crust on cutting board or another surface.
- Spread sour cream mixture evenly over crust.
- Top with pureed vegetables. (Use a spoon or piping bag to evenly distribute the vegetables in an attractive pattern.)
- Cut into bars and portion onto serving plates.
- Allow crust to thaw completely before serving.
Preparation Tips*
- One half (1/2) cup crumbs are needed per serving. 1 large croissant (about 2 1/2 oz) or 3 crescent rolls yield about 1 cup of crumbs. Wheat bread can also be used in place of croissants/crescent rolls for crumbs, if desired.
- Prepared sour cream ranch dip may be used in place of seasoning mix and sour cream.
- THICK & EASY® bulk frozen pureed carrots and broccoli may be used. Thicken purees to achieve desired consistency, if needed.
- If using canned tomato puree, add 1/4 tsp THICK & EASY® Instant Food & Beverage Thickener to each 1 Tbsp of tomato puree used.
