Hi-ho, Examorata here again, with another recipe that's actually from a friend. I have some too! I swear! They're in a little book at home, and I'll get to them one day.
This is the best. Appetizer. Ever. If you like cream cheese that is.
1 4 oz. package Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1/2 tsp. chives
1 egg yolk, beaten
The Pillsbury Cresent Rolls come out of the little popable tube in big triangles (for rolling into crescents!). What you want to do is take four of these triangles and make them into a square, letting them overlap at the seams. Roll this square of dough out a bit, paying special attention to the seams so they don't split apart. Sprinkle the chives on one side of the cream cheese and place the block of cream cheese, chives-side-down, on the dough. Bring the sides of the dough up and press together, wrapping the cream cheese. Like a present! A present full of cheese. Yum. Place the little present - with the seams where you pressed the dough together facing down - onto a baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg yolk. Bake 20-22 minutes at 350 until pastry is done and golden brown.
Note: We have this at my bookclub all the time. We have tried a number of spices - chives is my favorite, but it also works with dill or basil or oregano. Some spices work better than others - experiment! Serve this warm, with wheaty crackers - killer!
Happy Birthday, Britomart!!
