INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups fresh chopped mushrooms
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat, drained and flaked
  • 1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the mushrooms, green onions, garlic and cayenne pepper. Cook 10 minutes, or until tender. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl. Blend in the cream cheese and crabmeat.
  3. On a lightly floured flat surface, roll each pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square. Cut each sheet into nine 4x4 inch squares. Place 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture onto each pastry square. Fold the squares by bringing the corners to the center, creating an X. Place the squares on a medium baking sheet.
  4. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

These were very tasty. The only thing I will try different next time is to cut smaller sections of the pastry...they turned out a little doughy this time...but the filling was wonderful!

I also decreased the cayenne to 1/4 teaspoon and it still had a bite to it. I decreased the amount of mushrooms by a tad and added one can of small, broken shirmp. I added about 1 tablespoon parmesan. I had a difficult time keeping the corners together while baking. Perhaps a little water would have helped. Overall, I found them to be missing something. they were a little bland. Next time I think I'll add some garlic salt, crumbled bacon, and / or grated cheddar cheese; or even substitute the crab for shredded cooked chicken. They definitely have potential.

Great appetizer. Brought it to a super bowl party and they were the first to go. My kids even enjoyed them. Thanks
