Christmas Tree Pizza, Pom-raffle winner, Awards and Free books.

I found this beautiful recipe from Pillsbury site. This Appetizer tree is beautifully decorated with veggie ornaments for holiday.




Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can Pillsbury Crescent refrigerated flaky dough sheet
2tbsp diced tomato
2tbsp chopped mushroom
2tbsp chopped onions
2 tbsp red bell pepper
1 tbsp yellow bell pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh broccoli
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp Mexican blend cheese or any shredded cheese





Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. Remove dough from can in 1 long roll; do not unroll or separate. Cut roll into 16 slices.
On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices cut side down to form tree. Start by placing 1 slice for top; arrange 2 slices just below, with sides touching. Continue arranging a row of 3 slices, then a row of 4 slices, ending with a row of 5 slices. Use remaining slice for tree trunk.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and arrange all the veggies on top. Finally top it with shredded cheese.
Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; carefully loosen from cookie sheet with spatula, and serve warm.
