ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup reduced-fat cream cheese (tub)
¹⁄₄ cup buttermilk ranch dressing
¹⁄₂ cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)
¹⁄₂ red bell pepper, finely diced
¹⁄₂ green bell pepper, finely diced
¹⁄₂ yellow bell pepper, finely diced
¹⁄₄ cup carrot (grated)
5 slices fresh tomatoes
1 (7 1/2 ounce) package buttermilk biscuits (10 per tube)
1 egg yolk, beaten with 2 tablespoons water
flour, for dusting surface and rolling pin
grape tomatoes, sliced in half
sliced black olives
multi-color bell pepper (cut into shapes like stars, half moons, zig-zags)

directions

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, Hidden Valley Ranch Light Buttermilk Salad Dressing, mozzarella cheese, diced bell peppers, and carrots until well combined; set aside.
Open the biscuits and seperate.
Flour over a clean dry surface.
Take a rolling pin, and roll each biscuit into a 4" circle.
Using a pastry brush, brush some of the egg yolk mixture around the edge of each circle.
Spread a heaping tablespoon of the cheesy-ranch mixture onto five biscuit circles, then put a tomato slice on top.
Place one of the remaining biscuit circles on top of each filled circle.
Stretch the top circle to completely cover the bottom circle; press around the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.
Use a spatula to place each of the flying saucers onto a greased baking sheet.
Decorate the tops of each flying saucer with sliced veggies--use your imagination to creat fun designs.
Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Transfer the flying saucers to a wire rack and let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
