Crab and Chive Puffs

By á-9182

Ingredients

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry (a 17.3 ounce box), thawed
• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 chopped fresh chives, more for garnish
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 pound lump crabmeat

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400o F. Using a 2" inch-cookie cutter, cut the pastry into rounds. Place on 2-parchment-lined baking sheets.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the crab.

Dividing evenly, spoon the crab mixture onto the pastry rounds (about 2 teaspoons each). Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the pastries are golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with more chives and serve hot.
