These are very easy to prepare and a great addition to any meal. Ingredients:
1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed according to package directions |
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened |
2 small garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives |
2 teaspoons finely chopped green onions |
1 teaspoon dried dill weed |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 large egg |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, gently unfold the 2 puff pastry sheets. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gently flatten sheets slightly, , making sure the fold creases are rolled flat.
3. Using a sharp knife, cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal squares. Cut each square into 2 triangles.
4. To prepare filling, in a small bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the cream cheese, garlic, parsley, chives, green onion, dill weed, and pepper.
5. Preheat the oven to 425* F. Using a small metal spatula, spread filling evenly over each triangle to within 1/8 inch of the edge. Starting at side opposite of the point, roll up each triangle. Place, point side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Curve the ends to form a crescent.
6. To prepare glaze, in a small bowl, mix together the egg and water. Brush the crescents with the glaze.
7. Bake crescents until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
