Spam Broccoli Cheese Wreath Food

SPAM, BROCCOLI & CHEESE WREATH

Steps:

• After you have made this once, you can play with the ingredients- I like TONS of broccoli and just a little Spam and Cheese.
• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Cut broccoli into bite size pieces.
• Place in large microwaveable bowl.
• Add 2 Tablespoons water and the chopped onion.
• Microwave approx 1 1/2 minutes (Just to"tenderize" the broccoli).
• Cut Spam into tiny cubes and saute in small frying pan just to brown the meat.
• Remove Broccoli from microwave, drain the water off and add the mustard, spam& cheese.
• Cover a cookie sheet pan with foil.
• Unroll the crescent rolls and place in a circle on the sheet pan.
• The wide ends of the rolls should be overlapping in the middle with the pointed ends hanging off the side of the pan (See Photos).
• Place the Spam mixture in a circle around the wide ends on the cookie sheet.
• Fold the pointed ends over the mixture and tuck underneath.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
• (Lift one of the rolls and look underneath to be sure it has browned and is not mushy or raw dough).

BROCCOLI CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until the broccoli has softened slightly and become bright green, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and stretch or roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 11-by-13 inches. With the long side closest to you, spread the pesto on the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides. (You'll want to maintain the 1-inch border when adding the remaining toppings.) Top the pesto with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle over the Cheddar. Shingle the mozzarella slices over the Cheddar. Sprinkle on the basil leaves.
• Fold the short sides in, then roll the dough into a log. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make 5 to 6 diagonal slits on top of the dough. Brush the top with the remaining tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve the warmed marinara alongside and top each serving with some more fresh basil.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the broccoli, oil, crushed red pepper, garlic and 2/3 cup water to a large skillet and stir until combined. Cover and bring to a boil. Let the broccoli steam until bright green and just crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water continue to boil until it is completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream cheese.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the broccoli mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Cover the broccoli with the cheese slices and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the broccoli mixture).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping.

BROCCOLI HAM RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, toss together ham, chopped broccoli, onion, parsley, and Swiss cheese. Stir in lemon juice and Dijon-style mustard.
• On a 13-inch stone or baking sheet, arrange crescent triangles in a circle with bases overlapping in center and points to the outside. There should be a 3-inch diameter circle in center. Spoon the filling evenly over the crescent rolls. Fold points of triangle over filling and tuck under base at center. Filling will not be completely covered.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Serve warm.

QUICK AND SIMPLE BROCCOLI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a microwave safe casserole dish.
• Pour melted butter over broccoli (use more or less, to taste) and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese over the top and microwave, on high, for 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.

BROCCOLI AND SPAM STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Vinaigrette
• Whisk garlic, oil, vinegar, and mint in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Assembly
• Hold broccoli so crown is resting against the cutting board and stem is pointing up and slice through stem all the way down through the crown to create ¼" -thick planks. Working one at a time, lay planks flat against the board and slice lengthwise through stems to create ¼"-thick strips with florets attached on top.
• Mix tamari, ginger, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine. Set tamari sauce aside.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain and immediately season with salt.
• Set skillet with oil back over medium-high and cook Spam in a single layer, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Cook broccoli in same skillet, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in farro and reserved tamari sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Mix in Spam and transfer to a platter or plates. Drizzle reserved vinaigrette over and top with crispy shallots.
