Thanksgiving - Crab snack recipe.

We had a great time with most of the family  at niece, Michelle's yesterday for Thanksgiving.  As usually we ate too much.  Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.

I tried a new recipe- Crab Cream Cheese Snacks.  I had a couple of requests for the recipe.  I was going to post a link but I can't find it now.  Originally Charlie found it posted by a friend of a friend by Rose Kanneg, on Facebook.  I looked for it and guess what I can't find it I found some similar recipes but not the one I have printed so here it is.  With Thanks to whoever created the original.


Crab Cream Cheese Snacks
1- 8 ounce tube crescent roll dough
3 oz cream cheese softened
1/4 cup mayonaise
3/4 cup cooked crab-meat chopped (I used Louise Kemp Crab Delights)
2 green onions chopped 
1/8 -1/4 cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste (I didn't use any) 

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Unroll dough on work surface. Pinch seams to seal and roll with a rolling pin to create an even rectangle.  Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares. 

In a small bowl mix cream cheese, may, crab-meat, onion and red pepper salt and pepper to taste.  Divide crab mixture evenly among the squares dropping it by  that are 1/2 inch from 1 corner of each square.  Starting with same corner, fold dough over filling and tuck tightly underneath filling;  continue rolling to within 1/2 inch of opposite corner.  Roll opposite corner of dough over roll; press to seal.  Place on cookie sheet.  Brush with egg white if desired (I did not) 

Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from cookie sheet.  Serve warm.
