These vegetables are so delicious. I love that is includes frozen and fresh vegetables. Also it makes the perfect holiday vegetable, because it has the wreath shape.
With this recipe I took pictures of each step to try and help you with creating it. I know that I would have struggled with placing the crescent triangles without a picture to help. Some how just reading the words that describe how to place them does not help me, I am a visual person.
In order to create the wreath, I found a circle that was about five inches in diameter and laid the crescent triangles around that. When I was writing up the directions I looked back at the picture that was attached to the recipe and realized I did not exactly lay mine correctly. In the original picture the short side of the triangle (or bottom part) is laid on an angle, one point towards the inside of the circle and the other towards the outside of the circle. Even if you do not lay the triangles correctly, it will still turn out well and taste good.
After laying out the crescent triangles, carefully spoon the vegetable cheese mixture onto the crescent rolls.
Gently bring the triangle points over the filling and tuck it under the dough that the filling is on to keep it in place.
