Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer

By Stephanie Boyle

Cream cheese is always a favorite ingredient in our household. It just tastes so good and adds a lot of flavour. Here's a great recipe for an appetizer.

Ingredients required:

1 pkg (40z) crescent dinner rolls ( refrigerated)
1 pkg (8oz) Cream cheese
1/2 tsp dill weed
1 egg white beaten

Directions:

1. Unroll dough on a greased cookie sheet, press the seams together so you create a 12X4 inch rectangle.

2. Sprinkle dill on top of the cream cheese then lightly press the dill into the cream cheese. Put the cream cheese with the dill side up in the center of dough. Bring edges of dough over the cream cheese and press the dough together to seal completely enclosing the cream cheese.

3. Brush the dough with the egg white.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 mins or until lightly browned. Serve with crackers , french bread or vegetables.

Makes 8 servings.

As a substitute try 1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaves, crushed, and 1/2 tsp paprika instead of using fill weed.
