List of Ingredients
Crust:
12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
sweetener equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar
Topping:
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 clove garlic (finely minced)
1/2 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix (or any legal Ranch mix)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Assorted veggies chopped fine(broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, peppers, legal green olives, whatever you like)
1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
Recipe
Crust:
Combine cream cheese, vanilla and sweetener. Mix until very creamy. Add eggs and beat until mixed very well. Pour mixture into a 17x11 rectangle cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees 30-45 minutes. It should be golden brown completely on top when done. Set aside to cool completely.
Topping:
Mix all ingredients except veggies and cheddar cheese. Layer this mixture over the cooled crust. Make sure to cover all the way to the edges. Top with veggies and cheese. It really is very good.
* Deb's notes: I use Uncle Dan's original southern dressing mix (dry). If you use this brand, be sure and use 1/2 of the small packet as it comes in a larger size too. I added chopped: broccoli, red pepper, celery, sun-dried marinated tomatoes, legal green olives (Flavorite brand)and green onions. Next time I'll try adding finely shredded yellow crook-neck squash also. I'll try crumbled bacon next time too - that would be good.
I didn't have parchment paper, so I completely surrounded (up the sides too) the cookie sheet with the Easy Release aluminum foil.
