I made this and it was very good. I'm going to make it again today as a matter a fact. I used asparagus instead of broccoli it was a good with this too. It looks impressive enough for company and its tastie

This recipe is a family fav. I have changed is up abit at times. I use Light Mayo, Lower calorie crescent rolls and used Dijon mustard instead of honey mustard. Added a little pepper and italian seasoning. Have used poppy seeds or sesame seeds in place of almond. I like the mushrooms, fresh mushrooms are better but I have to omit them sometimes because not all members of the family like them. Great to serve with soup.
