Crabmeat in a Blanket
� 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 clove garlic, minced
� lb. fresh lump crabmeat
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives
� tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
28 slices sandwich bread
melted butter or margarine
fresh parsley sprigs, optional
Beat cream cheese, whipping cream and garlic on medium speed of an
electric mixer until smooth. Stir in crabmeat and next 4
ingredients.
Trim crust from bread slices and reserve for other uses. Roll each
slice of bread to 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin. Place 1
tablespoon crabmeat filling diagonally across each slice; fold
opposite corners of bread to overlap in center. Secure with wooden
picks, if necessary.
Place sandwiches on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with melted
butter. Bake at 325�F for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately
