Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Crescent Dinner Rolls (2 cans)
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded )
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese (grated )
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts (1 can, drained and chopped)
  • 4 oz green chilies (1 can, drained)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  • Unroll crescent dough into rectangles. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan to form a crust.

Step 2: Prebake the Crust

  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

  • Combine mozzarella, Parmesan, mayonnaise, chopped artichokes, and green chilies in a bowl.

Step 4: Fill and Bake

  • Spread the filling evenly over the prebaked crust. Return to the oven and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Rest and Garnish

  • Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with thin red pepper strips if desired.

Tips

  • Serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or tortilla chips
  • Add minced garlic or garlic powder for extra depth
  • Substitute Monterey Jack for mozzarella for a sharper flavor
  • Mix in chopped spinach for added color and nutrients
  • Use red pepper strips on top for a festive presentation
