Crab Pastries for the Patriots
These little appetizers are flavored with green onions and a little horseradish for kick. You can also add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper at the end of prep for color and a tiny bit of heat. Prep time is fast and the process is very simple. Serve as an appetizer, side dish or even as a snack.
Ingredients:
- 1 sheet (7-8 ounce) of pre-packaged pastry puff
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 can crabmeat (pasteurized), drained
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- ½ cup sliced and toasted almond
- Cayenne pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a circle cutter or drinking glass make 2 inch circles and place shapes on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let pastries cool for about 10 minutes and slice each one into two layers- 12 tops and 12 bottoms.
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, milk, horseradish, black pepper and crabmeat. Spoon a large dollop of the mixture onto each of the 12 bottom pastry layers. Sprinkle each with green onion and toasted almond. Place a top pastry layer on each and serve.
