carb and chive puffs

By pdav

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400° 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, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ 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, if desired. Serve hot.
