½ cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix eggs, cream cheese and shredded cheese in a large bowl until well blended.

Stir in broccoli cuts, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. Set aside.

Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles.

Arrange in 11-inch circle on parchment-or-foil-lined baking sheet, with short sides of triangles overlapping in center and points of triangles toward outside.

There should be a 5-inch-diameter opening in center of circle.
