TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Elena Falk's munchable morsels are always a hit at home in Versailles, Ohio. The golden crescent rolls are almost comfort food with their creamy broccoli and cream cheese filling, Elena says.

2 cups water

8 fresh broccoli florets

1 small garlic clove, minced
